thanks Kathy, originally I was trying for a little bit underexposed, I did try to brighten in PP, but was not pleased with the results. I use Microsoft Digital Image Pro9. I like your edit, thanks.

I do alot of weddings. First work along with the DJs catterers and florist if some one calls me to do a wedding I can refer them to the all of their services I even have a few ministers to call on also. Even tho the DJ was showing picture during the reception that should not effect your job. You are in charge of the posed pictures after the ceromony dont' allow any one there to take pictures except yourself. And their pictures should not even compare to yours. I can't even count how many DJs, florist, and ministers have sent weddings to me. To be a decent wedding photographer you have to a politician as well and have the personality that makes people want to work with you. the main point is as the photographer no one else there photos should even come close to yours. There should be a difference between a Photo and a snapshot. Here is a example do you think I would allow anyone to stand over my shoulder to and get this shot these are the shots you have to claim and own.

I went "out of the box" and started at a farmers market. I have a rooster photo that was very popular and chickens and old barns. The flea market I set up with a variety of photos. I was and still am the only "allegded" photographer at the flea maket. There are over 300 vendors.
