So here's my theme POTD.
I was behind the recession line shooting the back of her dress. I need to figure out how not to blow out white! 
The reception area was very low light and I had to use my flash and still did not like the results. I definitely need to shoot RAW but I don't have any program that opens up RAW yet. 
This is my friend's granddaughter. She was really enjoying blowing the bubbles and it was keeping her quiet :) 
When she saw mom's dress dragging across the floor during the father/daugther dance she decided to jump on for the ride. It was pretty funny. 
Would love any cc you want to give me, I'm putting my hard hat on now.

LOVE the comp on #1. It might be a bit heavy on the right side, but the concept is very cool! The blowouts don't bother me, but they rarely ever do. I don't have a RAW converter yet either -- hard to find for PS7.
I also like the Top Hat pic.
You did great. Bet you like these pics so much more than if you HAD to shoot them!!!
i think you did good...but i am coming off my first wedding also so i really can't cc. love the one of the little girl on the train! lol!
I love the first one ~ awesome! The low light question is tough! Every church is diff. usually when they don't want flash during the ceremony, they'll let you use it during the processional and recessional. Otherwise, HIGH iso, (sometimes unfortunately as high as it goes) and for the non-action ones from the back a tripod. To not blow out the whites is tricky ~ if you have a spot meter, meter the brightest part of the dress. I still think these are great! The only CC I would give is to maybe crop down the two of the back of the dress a bit. The pic of the little girl on the train, LOL!
Great comp,love your ideas, love the hat
I am very new to all of this, but I think you did great! And that little girl is just TOO cute.
Very nice shots, no help from me, never done a wedding before. Looks like you did very well to me.
Proof of why I would never shoot a wedding. Tough stuff. Whites are the worst. I get good results by shooting RAW and metering off the dress. I think you did a very nice job.
I have no CC to give. I know nothing about wedding photog.
OMG the flower girl on the back of the dress is hilarious!
I love the shoes, great job!! I also really like the cake pic! I think they look great and IM sure they will love them
These are very sweet! I love the close up of the little girl!
The only trick I've heard of for not blowing out the whites without underexposing the subject would be to take two pictures and stack them in PS. I forget what the process is called or exactly how it works but you could look into it.
Thanks everyone for all your tips & comments, I so appreciate it! I've definitely gotta do something about getting some software for RAW. I don't have any intentions of doing weddings but it would be nice to help out a friend once in a while.
You did a good job!
I don't know what camera you use but check out the software that came with the camera. My Canon had a CD of software and I can edit in RAW with this - it's so awesome to be able to shoot in RAW!
