Victoria's Bridal Session

Let me start with this.  These are quite a bit better than the ones you posted when you first joined. So you're going in the right direction. 

#1
There's just way too much going on.  The flowers are huge and busy, the furniture has a design to it, and the carpet has a pattern.  Oh yeah, and there's a bride in there too. 

It also looks like you're using an on-camera flash.  There's a definite shadow to the right of her head. A bracket would help to keep the flash above the lens.  Bouncing would help too.  Both would be even better. 

#2
She looks sad. I'm sure the thought was that she was thinking about her future or something along those lines but if I had seen that image without any lead in I would have thought that it was a bride that got left at the alter because of her expression.

#3
I like the coloring.  The white flower in the middle is blown out. 

What is picnik.com?  I see that listed as the editor in your EXIF.

It's what all the kids are using to edit their photos for their flickr, myspace, etc., accounts. No download and it's free. You edit your photos in your browser. While I know tons of people who use it for their photos, it is not a tool I personally would use for a professional job.

Teresa, I thought you weren't going to do a wedding until you had more practice?

I have to agree with Ryan on all of his points.

In addition, picture #3 shows no definition in the darker roses, making them look like big, black blobs.

It also appears that you are still having difficulty with your focus, as seen in #2.

Remember, when photographing a bride, that you want to highlight her wonderful attributes and hide the not-so-good ones. In #1, you chose to make her plus-sized arm and backfat the focus of the shot. Angling her differently would've made a huge difference in how her arm is perceived.

There is red eye in #1. This should've been the FIRST thing you post processed away.

Make sure you survey the area completely before shooting. Did you see that power cord in the middle right of #1?

I do like the coloring of #2. I just wish her expression and the focus on her face had been different.

In #3, I would've liked to have seen the ribbons at the bottom, instead of at the top. As it is, I keep thinking it's upside down.

#2 has beautiful natural light. Good choice.

All-in-all, these ARE better than other work I've seen of yours, so don't get too discouraged. What you need to do, is to take a friend to a thrift store and find a cheap wedding dress that fits her. Then shoot, shoot, shoot the heck out of her in all conditions. Cloudy days, dark rooms, bright sun, etc. Learn how the light plays on fabric. Go buy some remnants at a fabric store (really cheap!). Pick satins, nubby fabric, velvet, all kinds of different textures. Place them in different lighting conditions and see how to play up the attributes of each. Do the same thing with flowers from your garden or cheap fake ones from the local craft store. Play with different color combinations. Put whites with dark leaves and make sure you can capture the two together without blowing out the whites or underexposing the darks. Have fun, knowing that nothing is on the line (like your reputation) as you play.

#1...i understand about all that you said and unfortunately i coudln't control the huge flower arrangement or the ugly carpet...lol....we already got in trouble during the shoot for moving the candle (which is on the right hand side of the armoir thing there) and some chairs so they wouldn't reflect in the mirror. i tried!
i actually had an external bounce flash but this place had such HUGE celings and beige/yellow colored walls that my tag along NOR I could get the shadows or the funny "white balance"/exposure to our liking.
i guess i didnt realize the shadow on this one til you guys pointed it out. thanks.
thanks for the point out on the red eye...i zoomed in all the way because i thought it was too and i didnt see a red eye when i zoomed in on it but i guess when zoomed out you can see it...huh better try to fix that. thanks for noticing.
and yes i noticed in a lot of the indoor photos at the 1st place (where she is getting married at...as in this photo) a lot of the photos her dress came out tinted blue or was it just me?
#2...she was tired..she had a long day and she was just looking out the window while we were between shots and i thought it was a great "moment in time" shot so i took it while I had it.
it is a "soft" edit of the photo so i am not sure what you mean by the focus is off on that photo?
#3...i heard of picnik.com when my photoshop broke...or wouldn't work and i had to wait to get my "new" computer to get it up and running again. it is sorta like photoshop.
the flowers are fake and really had no detail to them and it is hard when they are black...or is there a better way to capture "black" flowers as her colors and her bouquet are what you see there.

no it wasn't you that said my focus was off it was wildmaven

Oh, my bad
