Congrats on doing your first wedding, but I was expecting a few photos rather than just one.
At F8 there should be more in focus maybe you were past the min focus distance, as it would be nice if her ring was in focus.
I would have made sure that at least the ring was in focus. Guess you need a macro lens for that.

Hi
I am not an expert, I am still learning.
BUT
Sorry, the fingers and nails I would have left out the picture, since, those are not too nice, ...pretty strange in deed. I would have cropped out the ring and hand, however, the ring is out of focus...
I wish to see other pics from your shooting.
Just my view...

It is a brave soul or foolish who attempts a wedding, without apprenticing under a pro.
You have opened your own can of worms here. Now you need to show us some of your better shots. And be careful which site you post them on so you can share them with us.
I have noticed that the shots I share from xanga are not nearly as crisp when I embed them here as the ones I embed from Flickr. However that ring is too out of focus for that explanation.
And what type of lighting did you use to make her hand look so bad. I assume the bride is not in her 50's. If you need to save that shot, I suggest you make it in to some sort of soft focus dreamy thing in photoshop.
I was drug into a shoot of a second wedding for some friends, and did an adequate job, but they never really said thank you. Everyone expects the 5K wedding photographer for a little punch and cake.
Good luck and I really hope everything else is much better, or you have lost some friends, or even worse you may have some strangers really angry.
So let's see some more.

Sorry, but a wedding really isn't the kind of situation where you can afford to notice something was out of focus afterward. It can't just be done over like a lot of other shoots. I've been doing paid assignments for around 6 years now, since I was 21, I've shot sports, events of all sorts, birthday parties, bar mitzvahs, glamour and product shoots with models... all my wildlife stuff, etc. I still don't have the ego to attempt a wedding on my own.

I love the colors and composition. However, why is the ring not in focus?

Of a good wedding photographer. You should post something better.

Sorry for your disappointment in the image. The couple was dancing and I just went in for a quick snap. I appreciate your various criticisms. I will notify you all when I upload the rest of the pictures or some of the better ones.
Thank you
And not that I perform to the client pay rate, but it was a small wedding held in a private room in the back of an upscale restaurant. It wasn't a 5K wedding, but given this is my first attempt I will take what your criticisms.

Look the image isn't flawless. I know that. I'm happy you have your own opinion but I went into this wedding with a vision. I actually sat down with the bride and groom before the wedding and went through various images you have acumilated throughout the last two years. They like the way I shoot, the like the feel and look of my images, they like what the pros call "overprocessed" images. No offense, but as long as I please the bride and groom, then honestly, your opinion is just that; an opinion. Going as far as calling her hands bad. Personally, I like the picture. Is it perfect? No. But i'm twenty years old and still learning.
