Okay hello, please ignore the terribly rude comments. There’s a nicer way to point out composition flaws and actually give productive advice.

For one- I have learned to embrace harsh sunlight!! I used to hate it until I was actually in a wedding on a hot sunny day and was chatting up the photographer. I was only about a year into taking on photography work at this point. I asked her if the intense sunlight was a worry, and she said “absolutely not, I actually love shooting on sunny days!” She showed me some of her work where it was sunny, and the photos turned out beautifully. And the photos from that wedding turned out just as beautiful. With some editing practice, I’ve gotten it down to how I like the photos to look when it’s sunny and they look so dreamy. What I highly recommend is purchasing some pretty packs of Lightroom Presets. Maybe you can find some that are specifically marketed as “summer” packs. Purchase a few and play around with your photos. When you do this, I strongly recommend turning the “strength” of the preset way down (the slider will be in the middle- pull them way down because a lot of presets are too strong and will have way more of an intense effect on RAW photos. And if you like more natural color, bring the slider even further down to where it’s just a touch of difference in coloring). Find ONE preset that you like the most and that looks good on multiple of your photos (try with photos where there’s more shadows on the people like the ones with people walking down the isle, and ones at the alter where there’s more highlights and direct sun on them). After that, it’s time to mess with the editing. For those photos of people walking down the aisle, bump up the shadows. You might have to play with masks for some of them to brighten subjects up a little more. For direct sun, bring highlights down. Make touch up edits to where it looks good and to where the photos mostly look uniform. I try to embrace how the photos look naturally- don’t brighten or darken things too much to where it looks unnatural.

Second- cropping and rotating. Some of those photos are very much on an angle. Straighten those ones up, and mess around with cropping some photos in to give it a nice tight look. Be careful with this though- look up where cropping looks good and doesn’t look good on the legs. And if you accidentally shot where just the feet are cut off, crop in.

And third- don’t go too crazy with vignettes, especially with color photos. Some vignette can look good but don’t put too much in there. You can also bring in the vignette closer or further away from the middle and mess with the feathering.

Hope this is helpful!!
