    I love all of this work so.so.much. I can but aspire. And I hugely prefer what you've done with your shots from the wedding we did together than what I did with them lol (although I will be sticking with my processing if only because it fits in with the rest of the set better - however, you've given me some cool ideas to play with!).

    Beautiful work, MG. clap.gif

    Great sets, thanks for sharing.

    Looking at these, two things stood out for me more than anything else:

    1) Brandon Rodkewitz apparently lets his second shooter do the bride prep photos? Never heard of that; usually the second shooter does the groomsmen's prep while the primary handles the bride and bridesmaids.

    2) Superhero wedding = AWESOME!
    What I said when I saw the Grand Canyon for the first time: "The wide ain't wide enough and the zoom don't zoom enough!"

    Normally he doesn't, but with this wedding it was necessary. The bride and groom were both in the same building. Bride was on the second floor, and groom on the first floor. The groom was with the groomsmen all dressed, having drinks, and eating food. Other than getting a few quick snaps, I didn't want to hang there and make them feel uncomfortable while eating. More of a story was going on upstairs when I talked to Brandon. I told him nothing was going on other than eating, so he decided to have me up there with him. The room the bride was in was very spacious, and a lot of storytelling was going on up there, so it made up for the groomsmen stuff :D

    And that superhero wedding was really awesome!

    This is exactly why I'll never be good at architecture photography. All buildings will be slanted 12 degrees rolleyes1.gif

    That is good stuff.
    A few tilt and framing issues but minor nits compared to the over all goodness.
    Some of them have quite a bit of grain.....which I am a huge fan of. Nice use of light, exposures, colors all good.
    Main thing and all that Really matters is you captured the emotions of the day...good on ya!

    Thanks Mike! I tend to keep grain in there, as I do enjoy the look of it. thumb.gif

    Really fantastic! I think Nick + Stephanie is my favorite, though it was a difficult choice! I love the tones.

    Let me know if you ever need a second ;)
