Perhaps a strange comment, and not really a crit persay, but the 1st image makes me expect and then end up slightly confused that the bride is not the same crazy attractive model who is out of focus in the frames there. Don't know if that is beneficial to you or if it even matters. Just an observation.

The focus is actually supposed to be the silhouette of the bride reflecting on the picture, but I definitely see what your saying. Perhaps it's to hard to look at? Thanks!

I see that too, but since there's no defining features in the silhouette, I expect the bride to be that woman or maybe they are her daughters/sisters or something.

overall really nice...
Some kinda over the top orangish processing going on in a few of them.
also way to many dancing shots ... at least for FM.

Overall nice job

Overall these are really nice. I don't really think i'm in a position to critique you but two that stood out to me are #6 and #46. With #6 i'd prefer it to look a lot more like #9. i.e. - black and white, no ceiling, and no photographer

With #46 the guy on the right just looks a little creepy to me!

Other than that these are all pretty awesome. A few I really like are 1,3,7,9,33,35.

I see the orange now...not sure what I did there. And yeah, that is a lot of dance shots. I'll cut'em down next time

Thanks!

I really liked this set and took some time to go through it. When I looked at the first one I originally thought the face was the brides direct reflection with someone else casting the silhouette. You've definitely got some very interesting reflection shots as well as mixing in some good foreground elements (something I always struggle with) on some of your shots. I don't like your color conversion, for me it is a little bright, but the photographic aspects are great. I with the shutter wasn't dragged so much on the reception shots. I always think they're neat but I get tired of looking at it quickly. One thing I have tried on shots like that is to gel the flash with a CTO so that the dragged parts aren't so orange.

Thanks for the comments! I know my processing needs work.. A lot of work

, but I struggle with it and I'm just not sure where I'm going wrong.. I like vibrant colors and I the whole matte black look so, if anyone has any tips that would be awesome!

I was 1/4 gelled for the dance shots, but you're right, I should have probably gone to 1/2.

Thanks again!
