Nice compositions, Jiva.

My takes on your takes:
- The sun reflecting on the water on the first picture is too glaring that it has lost a lot of details.
- The would-be groom on the second picture should have at least worn pants to match the would-be bride's dress. It looks too informal even for a pre-nup picture.
- The third picture's blue color is nice but the would-be bride and groom's faces are underexposed. Could've used some reflectors to reduce or eliminate the shadows on their faces.
- I love the reflection on the last picture except that the man's clothes again distracts me.

Thanks for sharing your pictures in the Critique Gallery, Jiva!

It's always a good practice to brief your clients on the following before doing prenups:

1. suitability of outfit with respect to the purpose of the shoot. A prenup is a once in a lifetime event (except if you do a re-shoot) and having the right set of clothes for the concept/location would make or break a good photograph. It can also be a cause for discord on the couple for not getting the right photograph that they paid for, just because the other forgot to bring pants, or sandals, etc.

2. discuss your concept with them, or ask them for inputs. Get to know the couple well, know their story, and uniquely interpret it with the images you will make. One of the situations a photographer wouldn't want to happen is when couples start to notice you are just recycling your shots, or shots made by other photographers (with same layout, lighting and composition) where the only difference is the couple in the photograph.

Your photos aren't bad at all. But the 2 prerequisites above would draw the line between a good photograph and a great photograph.

not bad for a point and shoot! great idea dude! just work out on the things they say like outfits. outfits has a lot of implications on the event you are working with. however, more power to you! great work for a point and shoot
