Had the pleasure to photograph these seriously funny people a few weeks ago and I would love to know what the fine people at FM think of 'em.

Learned a few things at this wedding.

1. Need more CF cards (bought some yesterday)
2. My Nikon D200 is to be replaced as I feel its no longer up to the task.
3. Need to work on getting better posing/expressions from bride (need to study Mr. Baines's pix more)

Cruel to be kind or nice to be nice, its up to you!

Cheers
BK

Whoa. Cool set!

#11 is something out of a nightmare though.

I like your post work, its not typical at all. At first I was taken aback by #3, but I have to say the effect/look has grown on me. The color palette is nice and consistent throughout.

And 14. Wow!

LOVE #9.

super-sharp is not at all flattering on #3 - soften his skin up pretty please.

Some super-fun shots here! I really liked 13-16. Creative and fun with nice processing touches. I might take out/pull back the vignetting on 11 and 12 and I don't know that the two images that make up 7 work together that well. I'd probably just keep 7b by itself.
I really liked this set-what a fun couple to have.

Dude....these rock. UK is just too cool. The clown stuff is hilarious and tasteful at the same time. I dig the processing on these as well man. You do desat well. Cheers BK.

Not a big fan of the desat on #4, but #14 is rock'n my socks.

Lots of wonderful shots here. Hard to pick a favorite. Patch Adams would be proud of #11 though. Nice work, indeed!

big fan of this set-very creative and as sam mentioned, still tasteful with some classic touches here and there

shots like 15 are awesome-very conceptual but not hokey-love the humor you infused

i also really like 13-not sure why i like it so much-you snapped at the peak of the action (good timing) but i'm not sure what else, to be honest-just works, i guess

on 9, i really like the simplicity of this-it's about them and their clown garb and expressions-only thing i'm not liking is her left arm, which is locked straight and disappearing into her dress-otherwise, solid

9 rocks out with her socks out, but you're right, some work on facial expressions and might be a good thing. While everyone seems to be enjoying themselves, it looks a little forced to me.

Great work and I like your posing and your ability to capture the moment. Very creative I think the use of desaturation is a little much. Throw it in here and there for some artistic flair but it seemed like a third or more of these were desaturated or overexposed.

Just my two cents. . .

Keep up the great work

I love overall tonal of this set. What a unique wedding theme. #14 is so freakin awesome.
