    Bride

    I've never shot a wedding before or anything close to it as by profession I'm a sports photographer but one thing led to another and I agreed to do a small wedding next week. The bride asked for prelim shots of her in her dress so we did a few snaps and came up with these. Looking for some technical input on these and yes, I know her dress is wrinkled. She pulled it out of her trunk prior to the shoot. Hope she doesn't do that prior to the wedding.

    I think you should listen to the people that do wedding shots, but if I were in the market, I'd hire you. I like the poses and the lighting. Since this was a prelim shooting and you said she just threw the dress on, this may not count, but that "splotch" of hair in the middle of her forehead should be taken care of.
    Also, is this the same girl with the eyelashes that was posted a few days ago?

    The splotch of hair is a bit distracting but her hair is going to be professionally done before the wedding, and yup, it's the same girl with the eyelashes.

    These look very good from a technical stand point, but there is one thing that bugs me. It looks like you did a lot of photoshop work on her face to remove her freckles. Maybe that's what she wants, but it doesn't look natural to me.
