against my better judgement, i've decided to share my wedding shots xD haha. this series will be called Silver Bells. there's not much of a reason behind it - not one that i can explain anyways. i just thought it felt... right. (:
any constructive criticism on how i can improve would be warmly appreciated! after all, i've only had 2 wedding shoots in my entire 18 years :D could definitely use some advice :)
p.s. remember to select the 'large' option at the bottom right of the page for a better viewing experience :)

Great b&w and the detail on her dress is wonderfully captured. All around a great shot. :)

The closeup makes an interesting composition in B&W with details of the wedding dress showing up well.
I'm not an expert on wedding photos but just a thought that with the focus on the hands, perhaps a bit of right-side lighting (using some sort of diffusing surface) to shape the left hand a bit more and bring it out of the shadow.

I love shots like this, it makes you ask yourself about what is going on, like Could the bride nervous before her ceremony, or is she just relaxing after, great capture :)

the black and white effect really brings out the picture... nicely thought and nicely done as well....

I like the composition. Great B/W.
17 Jul 2007 7:45am
nice overall composition but was thinking... how abt if u close in on the hands..but with the beads of the dress still in... a shallower DOF.. might create a better mood? ;)

Nice composition and use of B/W. The darker skin tone makes quite interesting contrast with her wedding dress.
