Well done.

Some of the groupe ones could be cropped a little closer to the people but otherwise I do like them.

Don, I really like them.


(Judy, maybe we're seeing differently?  The people ones couldn't be cropped any more I don't think.  ;)  I think the people are close to the edge, aren't they?)

We are seeing it differently.  At any rate they are beautifully done.

Don, who is the bride?  Or maybe the groom?

Are they family members?

The bride is a friend of my daughters and i got selected to do this if you know what I mean. I didn't mind doing it just wish i were better at it. I'm a natural light person and the lighting in churches is just plain terrible.

You did a good job.  I have done weddings for years and you are right church lighting is not at all in most cases good for photos.  Our church is the worst.  The only point I would make is the large group shot everyone looks so tired and the bride and groom seem so distant in this photo.  I know it is hard to get people to pose for photos but dont be afraid to direct them to make photos better.  Crack a joke or just a funny thought to make them relax.

Dont take my comment as critical just an observation.

Thanks you Charles and the others that commented. No offense taken. :) I see exactly what you are talking about, the groom is the only one smiling. Looks like maybe they are at a funeral instead of a wedding. I'll try and remember what you said next time.

Thanks everyone!

Isn't that funny?

I hadn't even noticed that the groom was the only one smiling until Charles pointed it out! 

Hey Charles, so nice to have you here.
