Very nice set of pictures, Bill; I envy this couple that they've
got you to fix the mess.
I don't mean to highjack this thread or criticize, - but let me using
these
photos express something that I am not completely comfortable with
(I might be just tired).
I am stuck at the impression that the 4:5 ratio is not quite working
for me today.
I am looking at shots like this:

They are just fine technically, and the intent is clear (to show
the dress), and the woman should be happy about these shots...
but my eyes are somewhat disturbed.
So, I am curious, - is this just me or somebody else has this feeling?
My cropping strategy for work being released into the wild generally is to
crop everything to 4:5 and leave enough space on the sides to allow for
making 2:3 or 5:7 aspect prints. The most common problem I saw in photo
processing was people making 8x10s and not being able to get the entire
subject into the picture.
Also, these shots are resized from the files I used for the Blurb book I
gave them, so I was somewhat constricted WRT the crops.
Thank you for looking and commenting.
