p.1 #1 · Alun & Faye - best wedding yet! 50 photos!


Alun &fayeI usually only post 10 but wanted to show the full day *lots more missed obviously*

There are 50 here. It took me HOURS to put these together and although you might think there's too many please if you can have a look 0 i think you'll find it worth it - i'm happy with them

Wow - whata beautiful day in every respect. Me and laura took a trip to Mold this weekend just gone for a fun packed day with Alun & Faye. They got married in the town of Mold at the St Mary's Cilcain church and then had their wedding reception at<a href="http://www.soughtonhall.co.uk/"> Soughton Hall</a> which is an absolutely amazing venue for photos and a special day. 

 

I thought that it would be nice to document the whole wedding day on the blog this time so please be patient for all the images to load. 

Enjoy!

We arrived early so we could take some photo's of Faye getting ready for her big day

Emotions were running high and not just because of the car trouble

26 http://www.tobiahtayo.com/blog/images/alun&faye/wedding/emotion.jpg

Faye was fashionably late due to a spot of car trouble!

27 http://www.tobiahtayo.com/blog/images/alun&faye/wedding//carbreak.jpg

Faye's dad was so proud to walk her down the aisle and rightly so, she looked stunning.

p.1 #2 · Alun & Faye - best wedding yet! 50 photos!


Lots of good images here. A lot of highlights in the first couple images. Works well with some of the 4, 9, and 10. Not a fan of 8 skin tone wise. 50 is tight though i would like to see more of the background, especially those cool looking walls. Lots of solid images!

cc? geez, i'll try

2b. (inset shot)-beautiful-nice comp

4. like it-wish there was a little more definition on the edges, though

7. nice-good skin tone

8. skin tone is not attractive, esp. next to #7-would not show that, despite the potential "coolness" factor of the processing

10. this shot screams "cleavage"-i'm sure that wasn't the intention but unfortunately, the comp directs the eye there

15. great comp-really like his eyes in this (like the guys in the this portion of the series, overall)

32. like both, esp. b-great catch

37. when you've got time to do interiors, you've got time to chimp and keep the highlights

49b. nice comp

50. gabe immediately came to mind on this one-i'm assuming he's a source of inspiration-if that's what you were aiming for, it was well executed

overall, a nice set-perhaps a bit more processed than my own tastes, but i think the shots can stand on their own with or without the PS wizardry

hope this is helpful/useful, tob

#34, the flare is positioned at a very interesting (or unfortunate) place. Good shots all around.

Tobiah, my man, you NAILED this one! It's completely WOW! I love how you tastefully put these together. Most of them look like album spreads, just print them and voila!
Great work man! Keep it up!

Lovely documentation of the wedding. Great location and IMO you've captured the personalities really well. Being originally from the UK you made me feel homesick. Great job. I love 22... lovely honest shot. Cheers, Martin

Some really nice stuff here. 50 is a bit much to really see and evaluate. I am guilty of posting as many shots as well, but when it comes to critiquing, it gets a bit difficult. My favs. from your set are 1, 6, 29, and 49. You had a bit of everything in this set. The only one that doesn't really work for me is 10, as I feel it's too blown out and you can't even really see the dress. Other than that, very good set overall.

thanks for looking... yes guess with posting so many cc isnt really possible. i was just quite proud of this set in particular and wanted to show my friends

re 10 the original shot has the dress details in but the flowers are too dark. i tried brightening them but i ended up liking not to be able to see the dress more

I like the depth on 15. I actually do like the perspective of 30 a lot however could do without the tilt. 50 is beautiful, a lot to be happy about in this series!

I love 15, great expression on his face.
48 is magical.

Besides that, you got a real style here. Very consistant throughout.
I agree that the color in 8 isn't pleasing. I don't think 46 c and d are flattering either.


I read your comments about using more ambiant and getting more images and being less stressed, and it's showing here.

Great series here, like the clean white look of some of the images
my favs:
2. has great light, really well shot
5. like the high key look to this shot and great mono conversion, suits the comp well
11. great detail shots here, again its clean and bright for the series.
19 & 20 have great mono conversion here and the comp for the moment shots are great.
27. is a great capture of the moment, really tells a story, which i like
29. great series of comps here, always tricky to get these shots in the height of it all, so well done
33. great use of a fish eye here, just waiting for it to happen.
43&44 great portraits here, great PP on the images too
48. lovely candid shot here, great use of the mono conversion to aid the shot.
Very strong set.. you did really well.
