If you are submitting wedding images, do not include filler shots of just the rings, flowers, dress hanging up, bridal shoes, or the cake…
For traditional images the images must demonstrate how you have posed and organised the subjects in a comfortable pleasing manner. For those how have a more photojournalistic style then show how you have seen pleasing posture, shape, good camera angle and viewpoint direction of light and good camera craft skills.
Show a variety of wedding images, here are a few suggestions:
Bride posed alone (front view-full length)
Bride posed alone (back view-full length)
Bride posed alone (front view-3/4 length)
Bride posed alone (back view-3/4 length)

Photo Quote: As I have practiced it, photography produces pleasure by simplicity. I see something special and show it to the camera. A picture is produced. The moment is held until someone sees it. Then it is theirs. - Sam Abell
