Wedding Couple Fill Flash

[GreatEventsAz]

This is a great couple that was married this past Sunday. These pictures are the camera JPGs, taken with my Canon 20D, I've not had the RAW in Photoshop yet to see what I can do with them. Any suggestions or comments are appreciated.

you have a coupe of nice images to work with ...but what exactly do you want to have critiqued?
you should refer to the posting rules for this section so you can provide the proper info...

please provide exif data, it will make things easier.

They are lovely images... I am going to assume that when you post your exif, we will find a fairly high shutter speed. Because the flash "freezes" your couple with such a quick pulse, you are able to shoot with much lower shutter speeds (dragging the shutter) and get more of the ambient light in the image. That is what I personally would like to see, is more ambient light. I quite often shoot night portraits like this around 1/40th of a sec or so to allow more background into the image.

agree. They seem to be almost standing in a black void... even with the light sources back there.

And the flash looks like flash. you know? head-on and very white. might have played with other set ups if it was me.
