Out at a large estate out near Penrith. The outside temperature display in my car read 39deg. Wedding photographers wearing black suits as uniform = 0WN3D!

Andrew,
Masterful work. The lighting and use of flash in these is exquisite.

Wonderful stuff....

The 2nd shot is my pick in this sequence. You've captured a fun moment between the B & G and the light is lovely.
In #1 the building lines detract from an otherwise great shot IMHO.
In #3 this shot is IMHO spolit by composing the shot with the black background when the G is wearing black - on my monitor (at work) I cannot pick out his body lines.
Great flash work in #1 & #3. Cheers, Mick :) :) :)

I like the 2nd shot. I think it might look better if you cropped most of the bottom off it.

I agree with admajic - the 2nd sjot would look even better as a square crop - losing a fair bit of the foreground. Cheers, Mick :) :) :)

The square crop was just what I was thinking when I saw this image.

Wedding photos usually bore me - as I had spent a summer of my teenage years following a wedding photog around carrying his sh&+ and other demeaning tasks; I tend to find them too formulaic and the poses fake. However, your second shot (with the 200/2) really caught my eye. I really like it - the short depth of field, the soft sideways sunlight in the background and that short of idyllic garden setting...

I hope your clients enjoy them as much as we do. :)

Never argue with a fool. They will drag you down to there level, then beat you with experience.
