Tiffany + Alex - my first solo wedding (lots of pics!))

[oats123]

Just wanted to share some favorites from my first solo wedding that I shot yesterday. I will probably do some more PP to most of these. So far I've done only Lightroom adjustments to all but a few. CC welcome. Enjoy!

You are farther ahead in the process than I. I find the background (fountain?) distractive and creating a conflict with the bride as the center of focus. I suppose you angled the dress in order to get all of it in the frame. It might display better in black and white as there is too much commonality of tone and color. Focus concerns may derive from the size file you posted. Otherwise, some sharpening might be necessary. There were a couple of shots that I liked quite well. Numbering would help with more specific comments.

If these were my photos, I would work on focus and framing. There are shots in the group that I would simply throwaway because they serve no purpose or lack a part in the role as storyteller. Then I would work on consistency in my shooting as these would suggest to me that I did too much experimenting and guessing on what I wanted to accomplish. I might even create a storyboard for the next possible wedding to that I have some kind of guidelines to follow for a sense of continuity.

This is a beginning for you.

I think you did pretty good.
watch how you are holding your camera, the one of the bride by the fountain is crooked. The shot in general is not the best background. The first thing I see is the gray wall around the fountain. #6 If you could of pulled her away from the background another couple feet, it would be so in focus, just some color back there. The shoes, same thing with the camera angle, they look like they are going to fall off the lamp. I think 9 would be a neat expression capture if you could bring a little more light on his face.
Keep it up. They are better than my first solo wedding!
