Nice moment.

Personally I don't like Sepia (prefer black and white). But that's totally subjective.

Very nice... and if the family likes it, that is what counts! I would rather B&W but that is just me......

You will not be judged as a photographer by the pictures you take, but by the pictures you show.

Yep, I like the b&w more, but as someone said, if the family likes it that's all that matters. Very nice shot.

Still learning :)

Its been said but the B&W is much better in my opinion and if the family likes it its a great photo to them. I like it as well ...is it their child if so its a great reminder of another beautiful day they spent together

Yes it's their child...They have been together for years and decided to make it official...And on my side I was very pleased with how all of them turned out seeing how it was the 2nd wedding I have done..

I prefer a mixture of the two. The sepia is a little too saturated for my taste. i would overlay it with the B&W, set the blend mode to color and set the opacity to about 25%. I like a warm B&W but not totally sepia for it. I would also dodge the grooms face a little to add a little more light in there. Don't overdo it or it won't look right. Nice job.

That's better in my opinion but I think I would still back off the sepia a little more. I think it makes for a more elegant feeling image than a straight B&W. Others may disagree so each to their own.

I like the B&W, but I'd be interested in seeing the more subtle sepia version that Randy (Shadowfixer1) suggested. Either way, good job capturing that moment! :thumbsup:

My one nitpick on the B&W is that your blacks are really more of a very dark gray. It's more grayscale/desaturated, not so much true black and white. If you're using Photoshop, the Channel Mixer is a great way to do B&W conversions. You can get true black blacks and still keep the faces from becoming shadowy.
