One of my best friends and her husband do bridal photography. They'd like some input on the pics on their website. He has experience in fashion photography - I think that helps with today's bride, who wants to be America's Next Top Model, even if it's just for one day. What do you guys think of the pics on the slide show? If you had to pick 6 to make up a bride show display, which six would you use and why? Thanks!!!! http://www.robinsphoto.com/ |

Agreed - hard to just pick six! I would say tho, choose six with a strong "story line" instead of random photos. i.e. the series of detail shots into one shot of the bride, or a series that is somewhat chronological... (i.e. bride looking around wall, to bride with dad, couple looking into each other's eyes etc...). I do love the shot with the Granny and the Coors! |

As someone who was disappointed in our wedding photos, I would say that your friend should do a mixture of formal, posed or still photos, both artsy and traditional, as well as candids, particularly from the reception. Most anyone can do a good job with posed shots, or shots of the ceremony where people are standing/sitting still. But really good candids of people in motion require more skill. Our photographer took great photos before/during the ceremony, but his photos of the reception royally sucked -- blurry, poor composition and/or totally uninteresting. We got better photos from guests who used the disposal cameras we put on each table. The ones I like best are: (1) little girls in the aisle of the church; (2) any of the three closeups of the brides' faces; (3) the dad walking the bride down the aisle; (4) the three little kids in the pew cut-outs; (5) the bride applying lipstick; (6) granny with the beer; (7) the bridal party in motion; and (8) the shot of the reception with the pool in the foreground and the house in the background. They all capture the emotion and energy of the moment, are really nicely framed, and they are flattering shots of the subjects. |

I think those are all really nice. I'm actually not as huge on the one of the kid on the first page, personally, I think there's better stuff in the albums. |

I loved Granny with the beer! I, personally, prefer photos like that. Ones that can show the personalities of the guests. Anyone can stage a photo. Not that there is anything wrong with the staged ones, there should definitely be a mix, but I'd want to see my family as they really are. Does that even make sense? I think I need some coffee. |

Agreed! But mostly b/c I find the kid's "baby bride" outfit kind of creepy! |
