Cheers mate

DOF on the macro dress shot is far too thin to capture all of the detail and I found the blurred parts very distracting.

Yeh I'm a little annoyed with myself on that one, ideally I would have stopped down to around 2.8, or narrower if there is enough light.

No.. I'm looking for clients who share my taste. I would much rather 50% love it and 50% hate it, rather than 100% feeling indifferent.

Below was the clients response.
"OMG OMG OMG!!! These photos are amazing!!! I was initially worried if the shots during the evening reception would be dark (due to limited natural lights) but you made the pictures look so perfect!!"

Once the sun went down I was mostly at ISO 12800 (25600 effective) especially during the speeches, so there is going to be grain in most of the set whether I like it or not...

No they actually cut the cake with it, although it wasn't planned. It was just part of the best man's speech.

I just don't think a lot of the photos convey the happiness of a wedding. In one shot, the brides mother and father look like they're at a funeral rather than a wedding.

You must mean the ones of the grooms parents. That is how they looked.

Regarding the pictures of people with camera's etc.. you probably haven't realised that the brides mother wasn't there. She couldn't make it due to a medical condition and was watching over a live internet feed. The pictures of her son's holding a video camera, is effectively the closest I could get to documenting how the mother of the bride enjoyed the wedding.

As for the rest of your opinion, it's cool, it's exactly what I expect from a % of people, but I couldn't disagree more. Merry Christmas

Yes I edit them on a calibrated thunderbolt display. The blacks look washed out because that was the intention.
