#1 has a blue cast on my monitor. Beautiful bouquet. Really love those flowers. The very original pen holding technique catches my eye as well. (Not a crit of you as the photographer or the bride...its just that I've never seen anyone else hold a pen like that).. :)

#2 lovely comp. I'd like a little more contrast between the shoes and the surface there are on

#3 doesn't work for me. cake looks like its toppling forward and the blurry stuff on the dance floor looks like... well...blurry stuff...

Love #1 & #2 Andrew. As said #1 has a blue tint (on my monitor also).
Not a fan of the last one - although the concept is good. The dancers look like ghosts in the background - not what I'd like at my wedding. :)
Cheers, Mick :) :) :) BTW Shakey I hold my pen that way & think it is quite normal :)

Exactly the same way I do - looks pretty normal to me.

The photos do look good although the shoe one makes me wonder if you are trying to sell shoes - maybe it needed something stronger than the flowers to link it to a wedding (or maybe it's just me).

#3 certainly looks original! I like it.

Love the shoes the best. Not sure whats wrong with the way she holds the pen (thats the way I usually hold it as well :) ), great focus on the flowers :D

I quite liked the last one, a little funky..what I dont like about it are those rings on the ceilings - they make it look like nasty flares have invaded the shot :shock:

With the last one being a long exposure, you lose that 80's feel of the ring lights in the ceiling going round and round and round.

Don't get me wrong, it was an awesome wedding with a really fantastic couple. Just the reception venue lighting is a blast from past. Something like it was out of the wedding singer.
