Wedding Photography
We Critique Your Most Exciting Wedding Images
Rules & Prizes
I can't believe October is finally here because in one week, I will have finally tied the knot and experienced my first wedding as a groom. After all the hundreds of weddings I've attended as a photographer, I'm excited to see all our meticulous planning now play out with my closest friends and family.
Therefore, it only seemed fitting to open up the Critique to another wedding themed contest. For this critique the community, we want to see not just your best wedding images but those images with the most excitement and energy. Any images of details, venues, cakes, or low key moments will not make the cut. As always, make sure you write a little about how the image was planned, staged, lit, and overall captured so we have something to talk about during the critique.
Each photographer is allowed to submit up to 3 images. The highest-rated and one random image will win a tutorial from the Fstoppers Store.
I'm excited to sit down and finally be able to critique wedding photos after having finally gone through the process with the cameras pointed at me. My honeymoon lasts until Oct 16th so be patient and hopefully we will go live shortly after I get back

Just watched part two. Please tell, where is part one?

Many thanks. I did try to find it, but to no avail.
Critique of the critique: Longish, boring, a lot of talk about own achievements, measured with two cubits. Must admit that most of the entries are just bad.
And Americans don't seem to have much taste or style. Kitsch prevails. Who on earth buys a suit for $10k + With money you can chew anything, but obviously not taste. - How can you criticise wedding photos in shorts and hairy legs, plonked down in an armchair?

That's petty and sounds like a disgruntled complaint. They've always been laid back in these videos...hell, I think all of their videos. It's asinine to think they'd hold an Emmy/Oscar Awards style for these friendly for fun contests. Don't you think?
I find that a bit disrespectful, I must say. Photography is about the look. In the upper part of the video you can see the photo and underneath..., well, see for yourself. Have you watched it? I did, in full. It was an imposition in more ways than one. But what the heck, lots of pictures were too. The guys are o.k., I like them. But that much blah, blah about stories of the great past and their own shots. I wouldn't care next time.
