This was Part 2 of an incredible weekend. I'll save you all the details, but it was my favorite wedding ever and some of my favorite clients ever. I left with a huge smile. Good times. Full story and more pics on my BLOG

I lost my bag of lenses for this wedding. At the ceremony, I couldn't find my 70-200, 16-35, 24L, 100 macro or Sigma 50. I was a nervous wreck during the ceremony trying to think about where I could've left my lenses. Luckily I still had my 35 and 85 on me.... the lenses were later found.

I'd love your thoughts or critiques. Thanks!

great set here man... awesome fall colors. What happened to your lens bag? just misplaced?

first off.. I want to say that i like the set as a whole but I find it a little annoying that you've obviously stolen your intro slide from Sergio's latest wedding... what a style biter?

I love shots 2 and 3 and also 6, but I hope you got one more. The posing of 6 is great. I always struggle to find unique ways of posing the groups and you never seem to disappoint in this regard... i just hpe you got one where the guy on the end isn't blinking.

7, 8 and 9 are all great...

12 is beautiful.. framing them within their guests is great and the touch of lighting from the rear sets it off... this one is my favorite

I'm not so fond of 14.. it sort of looks like he is backwoods preacher or something.

15 is great... nice choice for a b&w.

I dig number 1. Just a great start. The group pose is also nice.

The ring shot isn't speaking to me - i think because of the harsh reflection on the band. I prefer some of your other ring-work better.

Love these. 12 FTW. What emotion!

I'd have crapped my pants if that happened to me (with the lenses) - you shot the ceremony knowing they were missing? GREAT job keeping the concentration up. That would be a very easy way to get VERY distracted.

Yeah, although I always love her work, this is the first wedding where I can honestly say that my wife took the best shot, without a doubt.

I'd be freaking out about the lenses myself, but you guys rocked it with what you had. I'd have never guessed you were missing anything.

Great processing here. Really like the tone, as it brings the fall colors out. 4 is a brilliant capture. Also really like 7, 8, and 9. What surface was the ring on for 13? Really cool to get a perfect reflection. Only one I thought could have been better was 6, as my focus is going to the bridesmaid on the right, and her expression seems blah (also the groomsmen with his eyes closed on the far right). Wish you had switched her out with a happier one. Other than that, usual Hoffer quality.

Images - 8/10 - Good effort.

10 is a great expression of happiness.

12 will be cherished for a long time.

Haloweennees - 3/10 - needs more spiders, ghosts, witches etc. Review and resubmit

Nice poppin' stuff, as usual. Who am I to nit, but if I may, in a shot like 8, have her extend her arm a tiny bit from the body. Gets rid of the, umm, "tri- and biceps"
