Diana & Andrew

My best female friend, Diana, was married to Andrew on June 27, and while I wasn't the photographer for the wedding, I took some shots of them during the reception.

I would crop the second one so there isn't that huge field of black from his jacket that's unbalancing the photo. Great expression captured. Pure joy!

Just an aside, what's with the flat flat flat nails I'm seeing in pictures lately? Bleh. [/personalopinion] haha

Thanks for the comments. :-)

I loved the colors in the bouquet! I love flowers in general (a friend of mine is always telling me to stop taking so many flower pictures...I just laugh), and they were so pretty. But I agree, it is a basic bouquet shot. I don't mind, I just liked it. :-)

I think the dress is also blown out. Its the first time I've shot a wedding dress (or any white clothing) and it didn't even occur to me to make sure it wasn't.

Marian, I tried cropping it, so below is what I came up with. I'm sure what you meant about the jacket, so I don't know if that's what you had in mind. But I thought I would give it a try anyway.

Susie, Here is the original of the first one, so you can see if without the sepia. 

meh, then you have an underexposed image.  Don't worry so much about it, dresses can be white, as long as you have SOME detail so they don't look like a cut-out of a dress from white paper pasted over the image.

LOL, and don't worry about my comment about the basic-ness of the bouquet.  It's just meant it would be more special to her than us.  It's a good clean shot.

And yes, I like the color SOOOOO much better than the sepia.  The colors are pretty, I wouldn't mess with them.

Hmmm... that crop of his jacket just makes it worse, doesn't it? Now he looks like he's really wide.
