<p>Thanks all. I never kill images. For this one, it was well into the reception so the alcohol contributed to the silly pose I am sure. </p>

<p>I hear all your comments but its not always cut and dry as you've stated....that I must include it. I should have been clearer in my post, they didn't ask for the photo to be taken but when I took a photo of them, they posed silly.</p>

<p>I'm going with the email route on this as I decided not to put on the disk.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I would recommend you decline and they will respect you for this. As others have said here, you do not have enough experience to shoot a wedding. </p>

<p>Weddings are so important and a bride needs not only a photographer who knows all the technical stuff without even thinking about it but someone who can interpret her needs on the most important day of her life.</p>

<p>A wedding photographer has to think of poses within seconds sometimes as the sun light is fading, for example, all the while computing exposures and working out balancing the flash. Its tough.</p>

<p>Get your experience with family portraits, friends in the garden, anything where the pressure is not on because if you are asking these kind of questions now, when the adrenaline is pumping and a piece of your gear fails...you will panic.</p>

<p>Give it a year or even six months depending on how dedicated you are then go and shoot alongside a pro at a wedding. Don't ask him to pay you just ask that you want to gain experience. </p>

<p>You didn't say whether you actually want to shoot the wedding. Perhaps you do but you must ask yourself if this is really a field you want to get into. Or is this just a one off. If its the latter, I wouldn't bother.</p>

<p>There are many more fun areas of photography!</p>

<p>Hope this helps.</p>

<p>During editing after a wedding, I came across a picture a bride and some friends asked me to take of them pulling funny faces in the reception.<br>

In my opinion the bride looks very unflattering and if it was me, I wouldn't want the photo to ever see the light of day.<br>

Should I not include it in the take? Should I tell the bride its not a good image and see what she says? Or should I color correct and include?<br>

The bride is also a minor celebrity, not that has much bearing but just a point.<br>

Thanks.</p>
