Same good standard. Great venue and outdoors too! I now know 3 of the 6 places that has license to do that now lol (been to 2)

Although one criticism would be couple shots, they are very static and almost lacking emotion in them. I can see that they are smiling but you are directing them in such a way that seems they are rooted to the spot and don't know what to do with themselves. I realise that segment is directed but it feels off to me.

It is immediately obvious with the expressions in the photo that follow when they enter for the first dance.

Cheers Raymond. Yeh those are the hardest to get natural'ish. Sometimes it's relatively easy, others it's a little tricky. Added a few that I missed out. Quite like this one.

Great series as per usual !....nice capture of the A400M too

Brilliant,the grain always works really well in your photo's!

Nice shots.

My only criticism is the general look and feel of the colours with the brownish split tone and high contrast. I know this is common and trendy, and your going for certain mood that mimics film and nostalgia but in 5 years time it will look really outdated. I prefer wedding photograph that stays closer to the real thing with the exception of black & white processing.

But if the clients is happy who cares right?

Not just the clients, but 99% of comments I get about my processing is people love it. That's good enough for me.

Something to do with Instagram I guess.

Can anyone explain to me where I am going wrong, OP your pics look fake to me

It's not just the OP it's just about every pic I see these days looks fake, Can't think of a better way of explaining it.
Also do you ask the couples permission before you post all there wedding pics on a public forum ? Just curious.

Note.
I know nowt about taking pics I only know what I like so I'm not trying to be rude or Trolling you I am just curious how most of the World love these kind of pics where as they all look fake to me.

Hey Killjoy. Yes first the images are password protected on my site until the B&G approve them for public consumption. "Brilliant! Thanks so much Rhys they look great. Yes, we approve!"

The rest of your post shouldn't even need an explanation other than to say it's a matter of taste. But yes there does seem to be a number of trolls around here lately, so thanks for clarifying that.

Loving the random shot of the A400 in there.

I'm with nolimit in the PP but you have to work to your clients and if they have bad taste so be it.

One observation is quite a few of the photos have distracting OOF foreground elements that are even obscuring the subjects. I really don't like this at all as it isn't framing the subject but instead interferes with my ability to understand and read through the photo's story and makes them quite uncomfortable to view. Going wider but getting closer will get you in front of such distraction, or going narrow with careful framing will resolve the compositional issues.

Someones blurred head slap bang in the middle obscuring the B&G can only be perceived that somone got in the way and the photo is ruined, I can't view the photo in any other way. Same with bright foliage/flowers or whatever, even in space by itself is just a distraction because it is hard for me to know if it should be part of the subject or not, when they are so prominent but without definition.

Is this some kind of new trend?

No you got it backwards. I work to my own taste. Clients either book me or don't book me based on that.
