Hi
Thanks for posting these. Haven't seen many wedding shots around.
I have a77 too.

Looks like in this series it handled the white blouses well although I see a few blown highlights.
The tree across street looks blown out too.

Not sure if it is downsizing for web or my monitor. I am experiencing some highlights being blown when printing. Did you print any of these?
thanks for sharing

and adjust brightness/contrast. All shot in jpeg. I always shoot in manual or "M" mode and the dual dial really helps. Thank you for looking.

any of these. I only upload them to Picasa for sharing. The file size normally reduced from 12MB to 100KB when uploading. I can share with you the original if you are interested.

No that's ok but thanks for offering.
I can see from the shots here, they would probably print just fine.
The skin tones look great. Got that sony color.

WOW, that is quite an interesting mixture, traditional and modern outfit. But they look so wonderful, so beautiful, so happy....

Person is taking photos, not camera. When photograph is bad, it's because photographer doesn't know how to choose settings optimal to "own preferences". Then blames camera for bad IQ.
This is same as blaming car about arriving to wrong destination.

Lim,

I allways make a point to look at your shots. They never fail to impress, and didn't one again. The details in the clothing is just stunning, and I'm sure it would be beautiful "in person" to watch. Question -- Being from USA, (we buy everything) are these purchased, or made for the Bride/Groom personally? The materials, and details, such as the Peacock feathers are just incredible!

Very nice!

Is that smoke in the first photo, the family shot? If so, too bad, it does take away from the image.

by my Cambodian maid that wedding in Cambodia needs a lot of preparation financially and full of custom. The costumes are mostly hand made by the parents. By the way women commands a lot of family power in Cambodia. Normally the bridegroom stays with the bride's family after marriage and the in-laws can chase out the bridegroom is he is seen to be unfit in the family. The man has to save up a lot of money in order to ask for the hand of a woman. Who dare to claim that women has no power in asia!
