TheVain looks awesome! Very good work, loving the shot of the bride's knickers too.  :evil:

hard to tell from the tiny photos he's got on his site.  but his choice of backdrop on the photos is interesting although he might not have a choice in this.  Some of the lighting looks suspect on the interior shots, but not overly offensive, couple of blown out faces/ highlights in several photos, the dress is quite often grey so would suggest he's not compensated for it, look at image "L08_L" the dress is blown out, because of all the men (wearing grey or black) in the scene.  then look at "L09_R" weren't those suits dark grey in the other photo?

It looks like he's caught the right moments, but either a lack of skill in post processing or knowledge when he took the shots, has left the images dull.

Whilst I wouldn't want to shoot a wedding myself just yet, you look at say one of the other links on the thread and then his, and it's easy to see the difference.

Mate, you're in Manchester ...

I can completely recommend theVain - its a company that does work exclusively for one of our clients and their photography is consistently second to none.
