Default Yet another First Engagement Shoot!

So my friends mike and sarah are getting married and I squirmed my way into being his photographer. I told him I would pretty much just do it at cost since it is my first Engagement/wedding and I think it went over pretty well! Heres a few of the shots I got..
Oh and I know you aren't supposed to critique here really but I would love to hear what you guys think I could improve on! If you want you can go to my flickr and critique

Absoultly wonderful, the only thing I see is the first picture has the reflection of the white pole on the right. I would definatly ps that out.

Yeah, clone tool could easily correct it.

Otherwise, GREAT set.
Good job

Haha actually thought about it but thought maybe I was being to much of a stickler about it so I left it.. I did have to clone out a sand rake that was laying on the ground next to them though
Thanks for the critiques!

These are really lovely. I love the B&Ws and the color shots too. Have they seen them yet? They'll love them, I'm sure.

This would be a huge biggie...go to the church, the reception area etc and take a model and practice....be prepared.....lighting is hugely tricky. Outdoor shots are great....In your 1st picture, there is a pole growing out of the groom's head...need to get rid of it lest he get electrocuted!

Default Leraning Lighting

When you are trying to learn about artificial lighting, you would have a hard time going wrong with what you glean from the pages at Strobist

Wow thank you so much for the help! You guys are great.. Ive seen the location already and the ceremony itself is going to be outside"ish" and the reception is in a "dimly" lit room.. Im going to head back up there when it gets closer to the time and take some shots of my wife Plus I plan on being there for the rehearsal shooting a bunch too.. Thanks again for the advice The more the better!
