Yep, that's a dang white dress.

Oh and yes, www.thepioneerwoman.com - really awesome free actions. I found her blog through a cooking blog I read - www.smittenkitchen.com and now I follow it religiously, nothing like living vicariously through someone else's life, it's pathetic, but whatever, she has great recipes and free Photoshop actions, what's not to love.

Take a look at your exif, set your Exposure Compensation to Zero
What mode do you shoot?

Exposure compensation will really affect your image in P, it's the exposure not the white balance though.
I use it all the time in P mode to my advantage though. If you are shooting a white dress it usually fools the camera into underexposing so I bump my exposure compensation up to brighten the exposure, a black tux will do the opposite, dial that exposure comp down. If you are shooting both together - well, good luck

Seriously I shoot manual more than ever now.

I would leave the exposure compensation alone, exposure compensation can easily be done by using the shutter or aperture.
Knowing what to use in shade, full sun etc. as I mentioned before with Sunny rule as a start, you won't have to worry about White, black and gray, you'll have a balance.
If you change "Scenes" you have to adjust for that particular area, and so on.

Know the rules to break the rules. Big Grin
