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

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?
