I forgot to add that this is my little Cuz Laura and her new hubby Ryan. It was an honor to shoot her wedding (and it got me out of being a bridesmaid!) :wink

[Qarik]

some really good stuff you got there. nice compositions and solid processing.

Nice job. There are a few things I may clean up for über-final versions. For example, I may try to remove some of the clutter in #7, like the drink cup and straw in the background. Or the random elbow and upper arm on the right side of #18.

thanks. i have really been working on processing. nothing to harsh...a few here and there... I have been using the new Aperture, which i LOVE!

Thanks. it is funny how the clutter in number 7 drew me to the photo... typical messy boys popping open a bottle of champagne while eating MickyD's.

I agree that the elbow in number 18 is somewhat distracting... i will try to darken it a little and see what happens.

opps looking at the wrong photo...cropping that one out. some times you look at these photos for a week and you just dont see those sort of things!

[heatherfeather]

#3 is something special. You can really tell that you and she have a real connection to be able to get a genuine expression like that. She is so comfortable with you!

I would clean it up and put it in my portfolio if it were mine.

The rest are very nice too! :lust

[WillCAD]

Nice series. I particularly like #3 for the expression on her face; I've been saying for years, make them laugh, because laughing pics are much more natural than posed smiling pics. I also love the way you framed #17 through the chair; that would never have occurred to me in that situation.

Whatsamatta - you don't think you'd look good in one of those short, sleeveless blue dresses? :ivar

[zoomer]

Some really nice photos. You did a very nice job......other than WAY to many tilts, all those tilts kill the work for me.

We are very close. I moved down to her area last year and became great friends!

Thanks! you really don't want to know what we were talking about to make her laugh...very NSFW. HA!

#17 is funny. The minster asked me to sit while he did his little talk. He said photographers distract him by moving around so much. It was actually taken "from the hip", i was amazed after seeing it! (but it did take about 30 shots to get it right.

pushing 30 now...I hope my bridesmaid days are over :wink

Thanks Zoomer...

I guess you can say i am a tilty phototog. It is kinda a bad habit. I tend to shoot with a tilt. i try to mix it up as much as possible.
