Which wedding photos do you like best?

Question

I'm a photographer, and could use some opinions from people who are about to get married! :)

I've just updated my portfolio - which photos do you like, love and/or despise! (if any)

http://mayanphoto.com/weddingphotos.php

Call them by number, 1 through 18 - left to right of course.

All input is appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

#10 and #11

Answer 2

Wow those are actually wedding photos that I like, and would want for my wedding!

Most photographers portfolios make my stomach turn they are so cheesy and "typical". But those are refreshingly heartfelt shots, they really capture the day/the happiness without being tacky or over the top.

Where are you from? (I'm still looking for a photographer that doesn't make me gag).

Answer 3

#3  the bw pic of the little girl at stairway

#18 the bride standing elegantly posed

Answer 4

I went through them all and wrote down comments.  Here goes:

1. Elegant, classy and sophisticated.  Well shot and crystal clear capture of the bride.

2. Not particularly fond of the pose, but the picture is good quality and obviously well taken.

3. It's downright adorable.  I love this scene, it was captured perfectly.  Very beautifully taken.

4. Very pretty photo.  A well captured moment.

5. The people are a bit far off but the backdrop says it all, very good scene.

6. I like the pose, you've captured them very nicely.  

7. Kind of amusing look on one of the bridesmaids' faces.  Good quality overall.

8. Very classy and well captured.

9. Cute, silly and well done.

10. This one is beyond beautiful and has a very romantic feel.  You have done very well on this one.

11. Nice photo, good lighting and well done.

12. You have captured the guests very well and it's a cute picture.

13. Yet again, you've done the scene well.  Very good quality.

14. I love the triple picture look.  It captures the guests having fun and is very good.  

15. I see that you were trying to focus on the bouquet, which at first was lost on me, I couldn't understand why their heads were 'cut off'.  LOL, forgive me, took me a minute.  But it was a good photo and very clear once I realized the sentiment of the photo.

16. Cute and very clear.  Well done photo.

17. Very sweet and well caught.

18. I love this photo.  It is a very beautiful capture of the bride.  Lovely scene.

All in all, your photos are great quality, good, clear captured scenes and moments and very well shot.  I think that you are a good photographer, much better than the ones we have around here!

Answer 5

6 and 10 those are really good pictures :-) GOOD JOB!

Answer 6

I love them all! Awesome work!

Answer 7

Definitly 10! It captures the feeling of getting married...i love it!

Answer 8

I don't need to rate them. I employ photographers for the ad. campaigns we produce, and so I have a benchmark. You Sir, are EXTREMELY talented.

Answer 9

#7

The bridesmaid has such a shock/element of surprise look on her face. Plus, it's an action shot and really shows the emotions/feeling of the wedding

#18

Classic picture of the bride.

Answer 10

i like 2,3,6,11,and 18.

18 is my favorite!!!

Answer 11

1 is fantastic.  

2 looks a little silly with her head tilted.

3 is cute!

4 is good but I wonder about the angle.  Looking up someone's chin is always a horrible look.

5 is fuzzy and you can't see the people.  But the landscape is beautiful.  You just need a better focus.

6 is darling.

7 is funny and sweet.

8 Not crazy about it.

9 is fantastic!  I think it captures the personality of the couple.

10 is great!

11  I'm sure the couple has this framed somewhere.  Beautiful.

12  Not crazy about that one in the portfolio.  While the colors are nice, anywhere else and I wouldn't know it was a wedding.

13 You have a lot of candid photos--and while that's great and I think you should include a few, when people are choosing wedding photographers, they're likely going for the poses.  

14.  Cute.

15.  Spectacular.

16.  Also cute.

17.  That's okay.  Again with the candid...

18.  While the bride looks beautiful and it's a wonderful angle, it looks like she's in some scary back alley.

I really like your photos and if I were in your area, I'd hire you.  You might work on some variety and include more poses with the whole bridal party.  Doesn't have to be many--but one or two would be nice.

Answer 12

11 is my favorite. I really like the angle, to me wedding rings are some of the best photos, I feel they capture the essence of marriage, something we offer outwardly to the world.

Answer 13

3, 5, 9, 10, 18

3 adorable

5 striking

9 would be hard to duplicate but it was so personal for the couple, 10 was lovely

18 outstanding of the bride

Answer 14

1: I love the sweet look that she has on her face.

2: I like how it shows a playful side of the bride. I would not want all my pictures so serious.

3: I like how the girl is not looking right on. As a parent I would like that one because it shows how big she is.

4: Once again I like how this show a playful side of the bride and groom.

5:I like how this one is taken far off and you get more of the background.

6: I love this one because it is different than what you normally see for a wedding picture. The only thing is the bride looks so tins not your fault.

7: This one is cute shows good emotions.

8: This one is nice because she is not looking head one she looks as if she is taking it all in. Very nice!

9:Again it is playful and funny love it!

10: Good pick for a black and white and show the love for one another.

11: I like how this one has a soft touch to it.

12:This is a good one but looks like a everyday picture.

13: This one show that everyone is having a good time.

14: I love this because it is a different angles and show the fun of the party.

15: This is a good one to have just because it shows good details of the dress and the flowers I would have this at the beginning of my book if it was me.

16: This is one is a fun one also gets right in on the girl.

17: I love this one how her hair is swing out and the emotions is great as well. Also good one for black and white.

18: I just love this one the way it has the black edges how it is taken from the top of her it shows the beauty of the bride. Love this one in black and white would not have it any other way!

You did a very good job I love then all. I hope this helps you out!

Answer 15

I love the expressions you captured! Many photographers 'stage' the photos and it seems like everyone has the same painted on smile after awhile...But you got some cute facial expressions and I like all of them.
