@ rose garden I had 25 minutes to take those pictures so I didn't have the opportunity to use a bouncer nor fill flash. by CA you mean chromatic abberration? I'm sure much of that came from post editing, but can you give me examples?
@ venue- the change in WB is because there is an actual change in the lights they used. I should go back and standardize but three factors make this difficult: the videographer kept shining his light, some shots had flash while others not, and the very frequent change of lights.
Consider this venue and church what would be in photography hell.

Where do u live?
I've personally assisted in different cities around the U.S., still waiting for someone to take me on the east coast tho

I shoot with natural light 95% of the time.

I live about an hour from the beach but not the east coast. Why do you want to go so bad?

NY has some awesome black and white photographers.

that kind of east coast. That's really way up north but I do have friends up there so maybe sometime when I go to visit I may invite you =P

Yeah, for example this shot.. You see the cyan halo on the trees and fence? Doesn't seem like this shot was shot with a wide aperture so i'm guessing it's a result from trying to add some color back to the otherwise blown out sky in post.

I live in Atlanta btw. :[ I could care less if i do it for free.. i just want the experience :P.

EDIT: omg.. i didn't post the pic

Oh it's a post-crop vignetting effect. You're defintiely right- i did try to add some color to the otherwise blown out sky. You had me worried and pixel peeping every picture lol. I was considering a faulty lens. Can't get every pic perfect

You live far from me T_T otherwise I would invite you, unless you're willing to travel. Or we can offer a free wedding around your area and I'll travel. Or if you know someone getting married we'll only charge my travel expenses
Would be fun. Don't be afraid to ask local photographers to second shoot. Although someone are very defensive about their business, many will take you immediately (as Im' sure you're tons better than they are). You'll realize how much much much much easier it is to take photos of anything that is'nt a live event.
