haha... i don't know what the op expected us to do! me thinks girl got mad, he took down pics and then we found the album.

You're mistaken herm. The only reason I took them down was it seems like from the earlier posts that this kind of post was not allowed at all for a newly registered member.

Edit: I reposted some for people who want to give constructive criticism.

Get yourself a nice and powerful flash for fill. IMHO, your pics in those situation would look great at 1:1 or 1:-1 fill-flash.

I'm a wedding photographer myself. First thing that came to mind is this. Nice pics, but you need fill flash... badly.

Here's my gf outdoor shoot:

Awesome pictures!

They seem to a bit underexposed. But I wouldn't go this far:

I would.

I think the OP should stop and learn about how to be a photographer instead of thinking that expensive toys like a 7D + 24-70 will just do the work for you.

You are just an armchair moron.

Show us any of the pics you have taken.

perhaps, but i dont hear you disagreeing with me

edit: mr. i-spent-1$k-on-some-camera-pieces

$1K is like lowest shit budget for SLRs, you know that right? I was agreeing with BrokenVisage that $$ doesn't buy skill when OP spent to buy L-series lenses which are $1500-2000 each and 7D body. Combined are easily $5K that he produced with mediocre photography results (great tries, but definitely underexposed & no fill flashes).

It's same as some kid with rich parents get a top of the line American Fender and he's not good... vs some guy absolutely rockin' learning from a $150 guitar.
