Thank you very much :) I had so much fun with the princess!



Yay, finally getting somewhere with some of the wedding portraits. Tomorrow are my 3. wedding! I really learned a lot, also from processing. Its been really hard, lol, as I mostly do sharp and coldish pictures, but wedding are more about soft and warm.

For this I only used the 35mm and the wide, but tomorrow I'll make sure to use the 70-200mm as well, because I really missed the lovely blown out bookeh on some of these images!


I am still not happy with the ceremony images, will go over them again tomorrow, but think the portraits for them turned out okay:

These are funny, so different houses, but pretty close to eachother. We came by this "glass" house on the way to the location and they know someone who works there, so asked if we could do a quick one.

Second image are our town hall, in the small garden they have in the middle.

Did you mean to capture the water squirting from her head? I love it. Like angels flying because she's so happy! Cheers, Brad :)

Hehe, not on purpose. I really try to be aware of this head-thing, and it slips so often! Lets hope she wont notice ;)

Lol, they are both edited. But guess you prefer the second one. Its my first church wedding, so just trying to get a feeling, about which style I should do.

On the second, would you say the eyes and his pants are to dark?

In your second photo, the priest's robe lost displaying some of its drapes because the blacks are so dark. I prefer seeing some of its texture that is visible in the first. And be aware of how you crop. In the first photo, you cropped through the face of the woman standing in the background. One other observation in the second, I'm having trouble digesting the greens of his boutonniere and the greens of the mantle flowers being black. I guess it is the symbolism--lol! You are quickly learning how to post process--you are picking things up fast! Keep it up! ;)

They probably are too dark. In the first one the colors of the jacket and pants are definitely two different colors , where on the bottom version they look almost the same.

Thank you so much, for pointing out these details! Much appreciated.

I think the couple were so cute, getting happy while looking through the images. When we were done photographing, I had to give them a huge hug, felt like I knew them. And Im so happy they asked if I could do this, I dont even have any wedding images on my website yet. Sometimes I think if its to fast, photographing professionally, since I have so much to learn. But really cant help myself :eek:
