Well, not my first actual bridal. My first bridal will be in a few weeks. This one was just practice with a friend who had a dress. The last one was just for fun.

maybe it is just the model but she looks constipated. Good exposure and colors though.

the 1st and 3rd are nice-like your framing in 3 especially and nice lighting overall-color in the 2nd shot seems a bit off to me-the veil has a purplish tint as well

last shot seems like it was done for fun-seems like you achieved what you were shooting for there-just hope you don't use it to advertise

Thanks Conrad!

Yeah, she didn't have the best range of expressions. I need to work more on getting subjects to give me good expressions.

Daniel - yeah, I think it's my white balance that's off in that shot. The strobes come out cool, so I have to boost the temp in camera raw, but in this one, once I'd get the veil white, she looked like she had a sunburn.

Thanks for the comments!

Nice job-- I really like the last one the best

Now for the critique:
For me the images are over post processed. the skin doesnt look real, it looks more plastic than anything. The only other thing is the hands... I am not exactly sure what you could have done to make them better other having her cup her hands a bit more to give them some more shape rather than just laying them there.

Its unfortunate that she looks so unhappy however i like 1 & 3 try cropping in a little tighter or hide her hands altogether they dont sit right.

I think the first one would look better in black and white.

It you're using Lightroom, you can pull out purple without affecting other colors.

I think the last one would be better with a dried up, wilted flower or a black rose.

The exacution on all these is flawless. Great lighting, poses, color, skin treatment etc. That said I'm not sure what to make of the last shot. I dunno, not sure if it helps the portfolio or not. I thinks it's cool but some potential clients just might be turned off. $.02
