Wedding photos - what to do?

Went to Las Vegas recently for a friends wedding..... they asked me to take photos during and after the service for them, thankfully in addition to the pro photographer they had! Phew!

Anyway, as the ceremony was being video'd they asked me not to use a flash, which, made things quite difficult...i.e. higher ISO than i would've preferred and a battle to get the white balance right. Anyway, as i used RAW for the entire holiday i was amazed at how i could resurrect some photos, very impressed.

Anyway, they are still on their honeymoon at present, and i want to make a web gallery, and print off a small selection of them at work for them. But, im unsure whether to leave them full colour, mute them back, or go b&w...... so just looking for some opinions.

I guess its also a test to see how badly my new TFT is calibrated!!

Any comments welcome!

Re: Wedding photos - what to do?

I'd go with mono - for me the eye is drawn to the background when it should be taken to the couple. I'd up the contrast and sort the levels though.
