Added Bonus!

And finally, to help celebrate the month of April and get everyone excited about portrait photography, Fstoppers has made a massive sale on our portrait tutorial with Clay Cook. It's normally priced at $300 but for the entire month you can get it for just $49.

Clay Cook is an incredible editorial and advertising photographer based out of Louisville, Kentucky. His tutorial on portraiture is incredibly thorough and covers everything from wardrobe styling to simple set building to both simple and advanced lighting setups. So regardless if you are an outdoor natural light shooter, or you want to step up your studio productions, Clay's tutorial is going to have something for you. 

Thanks again to everyone who submitted to this wedding critique and good luck to everyone entering this month's portrait critique!

Great photos, can't help thinking that there are no 'ethnic' weddings that get selected.

Whatever criteria they use to select what to critique, ethnicity should not be part of it.

With that said:
