Firstly.. I hate shooting weddings..

So..

Shot a wedding in rural Ontario Canada last week.. (prepare for mini photo-bomb)

Bride and groom didn't want many traditional shots.. So mostly candids with a couple shooting galleries..

One is an artist - the other a musician so they wanted something "artsy" in addition to the usuals.. I sold them on a surreal themed shoot on the lake at night (Lake Huron).

Here's a somewhat random handful.

I just had a small backpack with a limited selection of gear.. Couple strobes - small assortment of reflectors and soft boxes.. None of the daylight shots are with available light only.

Any and all feedback appreciated.. Thanks!

I almost shot the night scenes exactly like those.. Well a few.. Pretty neat stuff..

I was doing some testing with dramatic focused light on the subject.. In the end I figured a more natural-ish lighting everywhere was a better idea (although the shadow purposefully falls in the wrong direction in that last shot.).. The couple are more naturists - so I sorta stuck with naturalish lighting and lower contrast throughout most of the day.

As for the crooked horizon.. One of them I was using it in the composition.. The others I was being lazy.. Pretty much all of the shots with a strong horizon are noticeably a couple degrees off.. Not much excuse.. Had a decent sized flash bracket for good reference with hands.. I just wasn't paying attention to my horizon.. I'm gunna stick a bubble level to my forehead next time.

My biggest problem was I started channeling 1996 and purposefully shooting at odd angles (rotations of the camera).. Partly because I was using a fixed lens for a good amount of the shooting and I was space limited so I unconsciously started tipping the camera to fit everything.. The main dress shot's two right corners are completely shopped in right up to the bride.
