Hey all, new here...
Wondering if you could give me some feedback on a recent wedding I did...

Let me know what you think! Thanks!
Hi Zach,
I'm not sure about how you are set up with equipment and what any difficulties might have been, and with these caveats, I'll step where angels would not tread.
I have to guess a lot since there is no guide. It appears to me that you are not using adequate lighting. The faces show shadows which rob the pictures of impact and clarity. Simple electronic flash would readily overcome this. The challenge is to get the face lit without blowing out the white dress.
It is an absolute necessity to take these pictures with control of light since there is otherwise far too much skilled and tedious work to then deliver great pictures on time. So the first thing I'd say is deal with lighting.
The next thing is the processing of the images. Start with images shot in RAW and for now send the files to a Pro lab so you can make money delivering the great record of happiness with no headaches.
You can then focus on selling albums for which you can get income.
At present it appears to me that you might be using a set of filters. some plugins, perhaps to make the pictures B&W, or sienna toned. I'd keep away from these since they also seem to cause blur and vignetting.
I'm reluctant to even stick my neck out as far as I have commenting on your images. Maybe I should have asked about you work a little more and your clients. However, my impressions are meant to be honest and straightforward. I hope they will be accepted in that spirit. I could of course say, "Very good job!", but then what use would that be?
