Opinions Please-Wedding Photo

My nephew and his new bride had a small simple outdoors wedding last Saturday. Being on a very limited budget and easy to please they asked me to shoot it. I'm just amateur and not planning on going pro/paid so be easy. These are just a couple of the 1600 total shots (including duplicates) I took.

Love the weathered siding, wood. Nice lighting. Did you use any fill on her? Doesn't seem so and If not I don't think it needs it other than catch lights.

No fill. I didn't use anything being almost straight up noon. I was more focused on using the right lens and composition and didn't even consider any lighting. I took my reflectors and even forgot to use them. I was using a Nikon 85 1.8G. I swapped around between that and the 50 1.8G and Tamron 28-75 2.8. I used the Tamron during the wedding and the others for the bridal party sets. They have been very happy with what they've seen so far. I'm only about half through culling and editing. It was a great location. You can see where the ceremony took place in the first shot off to the right. It was in front of a faded red barn with the fence around the whole area. Lots of places for photos.

These are nice images. I would darken them a bit, and tweak the color balance, as they seem a bit on the reddish side. What Nikon camera did you use? The images do show a good awareness of composition. I'm quite fond of that first image of the hanging dress for some reason.

I don't like the dress pic too much either. I see too much space or barn. Here is what I did. Just something quick to give an idea. I took away some of the barn wall. I like the soft background.
