I've been working on my website and would love to heard some feedback on things that look well/need some improvement. Thank you.

Initial thoughts:

1. My internet is slow, the spinning box + black background made me dizzy
2. Don't need a logo on every slideshow image
3. Navigation buttons display on on my screen untill I scrolled down.
4. The reflection is cool.

My internet is fast, but it still took some time for loading. Did you optimize the images for web? Maybe they're too large.
Your first image is not your best.

Home is a slide show, while gallery has navigation buttons. Why not give that same option on "home"? I thought the slide show was flash and tried to find a next button. After a while I realized it was an automated slide show.

Not sure if it's a good idea to have a calendar if all your dates are free.

Maybe those images are the OP's best?!

But I agree, you need better pix. Is it flash? Feels like a flash site to me.

i dont think you need a watermark on every single image like that.

The white text on the black background is hard to read in the "Information" sections - maybe the font is too small?

I agree with the others, the watermark doesn't need to be on every image. As it appears to be a flash slideshow, a right-click theft option isn't readily available.

I like the cake shots.

Thank you for your thoughts everyone. I have been debating about the watermark as well. I'll plan on removing it. The whole site is flash and I'm not sure that I have the option to change the home page design.

Tami, thank you for the thoughts on the info. section. I'll increase the font size.

Its way to busy....As soon as it loaded I wanted to leave....That is just an honest comment.

Its your site....You don't need a massive watermark on all of your pictures. If they got there "they" know its you.

I felt claustrophobic in your galleries form the images all smashed together just like on the first page that gave me my initial feelings.

It should flow and show who/what you are.

These are just honest opinions that has nothing to do with your work/pictures...Strictly layout and design.

Good Luck

way too long to load

the spinning thing ??

first shot is very poor - do not look happy and poor expressions

you have better stuff inside

too many profiles with double chins - morph them a little

the multi with the young girl is out of place and too mashed together

the font on your about pages is not the easiest to read

dump the calendar

others have very ruddy faces - colours are overly red as though your have a profiling problem

make some b/w would help break it up

perhaps in the about pages you have a pic of you and some talk about you - more hard info if possible - a story about your life so we know who we will be meeting ...

That's true, but anyone can hit 'Print Screen' and then paste the image into MS Paint, crop it and save it. It's a little more work than right clicking. Editing out watermarks is a lot more time consuming in my opinion.

If anyone wants to become a wedding photographer, I have some advice - work on your portfolio before you run out and buy hosting and a template website. This is not just for the OP, but for anyone that's interested in becoming a professional wedding photographer.

i think you need to generate some more content. but in the mean time remove the engagement section. if you only have 3 images i would just not show it at all. good luck.
