I'm not sure Tri-X would give more contrast but rather less. It's a well-balanced fast B&W film and extremely forgiving, but not really noted for its "critical" qualities.

When using a "potato masher" keep in mind which way the shadows will fall. They will be in the photogaphs (it's part of the PJ "look"). Select point of view and compose accordingly.

Cool photos John. On my laptop they look quite hardish (contrasty) even without the Tri-X. Nice mix of deep shadows and almost overlightened subjects. The girl almost catching the bouqet is very good timing. Anticipates the whole ritual behind marriages and the future hopes and expectations they symbolize. Excuse my english, but what is a (non-kitchen) "potato masher", and what does "the PJ look" mean?
