You asked what I thought. When people see the image, they'll ask, "who is this?" where is her face?

love the rings, like the flower shot...but the kiss is just too contrived...good try...but I'd like to see something a bit more natural, or softer for a wedding. Smart to be trying something out of the box.

Good lighting & good idea, but I can see it is a very tough shot to get a right composition. However, you can always use editing software (example: Photoshop) to enhance the beauty and eliminate some imperfections of these photos. If you don't mind, please allow me demonstrate the possibility how your pictures may look after some minor tweaks. Hope this is helpful. Thank you for posting.

There is no such thing as a right or wrong photograph, but there are techniques to making them more appealing to the viewer and your subjects photograph.
oh yes there is an armpit in the image, but if you did not see the potential in the photo, you should stop looking for just the bad points in photographs, it's not helping you to get better, everyone seems to have a real good eye for pointing out the defects.
If you are a serious photographer, help others become better photographers, truly be helpful...

Nice job tlhodge1. As they say out east....GAWJUS! Love the composition of the rings. The floral bouquet is very colorful! I love the re-composition of the kiss photo josoIII did. The photo had great potential. Keep sharing! :thumbup:

My daughter suggested that I do this shot. It is different, but thought I would try and see what I ended up with. Other than the "armpit" I think I kinda like it. Doing another wedding this evening it is also outside, so may try same shot again and work on the problem areas. Thanks for you comments.

Photographs that feature armpits or nostrils are rarely flattering. I applaud thinking out of the box, but just because it's unique doesn't necessarily make it good. Perhaps a shot from a higher point of view, like a few steps up a ladder looking DOWN on the couple, might have more impact, and not be so "up close and personal".

Yes I did ask and accept your comments. And its all good, but what happened to the armpit issue? Now it's the face or the lack of. The people looking at this album with probably know who she is!

I agree and will take all the advice and comments and make changes for future shots. Thanks for your comments

I like the ring shot, I think the angle of the mans ring but my mind says why is it separate from the womens rings they are uniting. Maybe keep the angle but have them touch. Still a different point of view and looks like it suits the area they got married in. Flowers with the background nice, the kiss creative angle I want to do that at a Sweet 16 with the group of girlfriends. I agree as not such a young women the armpit might bother me but it doesn't overwhelm the shot. Good work
