p.1 #2 · p.1 #2 · B + S at Bartram's Gardens

My quick notes:

I would probably crap my pants in fear I'd drop the dress in the water. Perhaps I would have shot something that shows this aspect of the image a bit more (puddle reflection? Lower angle? I don't know) to show that.

A huge set, made less impactful by sheer volume of pics IMO. Strong overall but less powerful then it could be.

Ok..not to comment specifically on this set..but what is it with hanging the dress in these remote out of context locations..especially video guys..
I get to a brides house at times..and I see the videographer has hung the dress from a tree, from the porch roof and I swear is looks dam spooky.. I just don't see the art in that..
Or this weekend, the video guy took the grooms clothes outside..hung the jacket on a tree.. why

? What's it doing there.. If I was a bride or groom..and I watched my wedding video with my dress hanging on a tree a porch or a roof..I'd be like WTF is my dress (a WEDDING of all things) doing there?? I just don't get it.

I mentioned this earlier, I am no pro so don't take anything to heart, just trying to help with my opinions.

The opening 4 images are kind of repetitive, I feel like you could have taken pictures of these items in different locations to help bring this set up. I do agree with jeremy that the set is a bit large.

I like the scene in #8 and #11 each time just the 2 of them kind of like a good bonding experience.
I feel like #14 could have been stronger with a looking down instead of eyes closed (same with #20)
Some great emotions captured in here like #28 & #31 (there were more but didn't note them)

Really solid work! I'd agree that this is your strongest wedding set. What stands out is the consistency of the set. I think that's harder to achieve than a few knock outs in the midst of a bunch of plain photos.

Great use of window light, I'm a sucker for that!

My only crit would be to burn the grass on 59 & 60. It takes away for the impact of the photo. Also, 55 is a little awkward to me. I keep looking at her shoulder

Nice set.....some of the pictures seems a little dark at the edges, I would reduce the vignette at the edges of some a little.
