[bpuppy]

Some bridal shots with a couple unafraid of the elements.

Some of these are lit with a 580EX on an umbrella stand.

very nice and unusual series!

[agosling]

Great stuff, I love them, why can't there be more couples who will try something different.

[Jim G]

VERY nice! That's really something different. Impressive work!

What did you shoot #2 with?

[Rachellebee27]

Wow, amazing I love the colors in the last one. She loves the camera.

[Tish]

Won't see THAT in the Pacific, way too cold! Awesome shots!

[tim]

Great photos! I hope that was after their wedding day, or at least after the ceremony/reception!

[deadpass]

great shots!! that last one is spicy!

[shilophoto]

WOW, I love your picks!!!!!

[bpuppy]

First 3 were with the 50mm f/1.4, the last 2 with the Tamron 28-75 ... two and 3 were lit with umbrella.

The last one is cool because the sun was RIGHT on the horizon, so it was REALLY orange and when I did the WB picker to her white dress, it made the water really blue.

Thank you Mother Nature!

[Wedding Shooter]

Very, very cool.

[jessiper]

Terrible, as usual! Haha They're great! Great colors, light, DOF, composition, sharpness... What a great opportunity w/such a willing couple. They look like naturals, or you made them look that way. Doesn't happen very often. One thing, I flipped my laptop upside down, and I think #4 looks better upside down. Thanks for sharing! :)

[jessiper]

Won't see THAT in the Pacific, way too cold! Awesome shots!

LOL ;)

[jessiper]

The couple looked familiar so I went on to your website. Are they Lisa and Joel from your featured weddings?

[monter]

awesome shots! can't believe the bride did that, but it's great!

[jamiepeter]

So were 1, 4, 5 with just natural light? What did the light-setup look like? I'm always always interested to learn more!! Gorgeous gorgeous series. Super unique.

[lil_miss]

Awesome! :) I love the last one... :D

[JMW-Photo]

WOW!! Any one a fan of that show 24??

She looks like Nina!!!

Great set! Bet thier reception will be a blast!

[bpuppy]

Yep ... she knows she looks like Nina ... that B1TC4!!!!

Light setup was a 580EX with umbrella, tripped with an ST-E2 Transmitter ... umbrella we pretty close and about a foot above her head.

[Billie]

Beautiful photos! Fun, engaging and different.

[kawter2]

i Love IT!!!!


4 seems a bit neg gravity, might want to rotate

[Banbert]

Awesome shots, very inspirational

[Arnie1]

Wow, not usually a great fan of the wreck the dress thing, but these are great shots.

[steveathome]

Diifferent and very nice, gorgeous bride too, I bet they were pleased with them.

[justisnmnz]

wonderful shots, although everyone has already said it :D

[BrittanyElise]

Now that's a fun couple - No bridezilla there! Very nice photos, and of course that last pic is G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S!

[sapearl]

Incredible wave action.... and the detail in the sand, I can almost taste the grit... and that rock texture, just EXTRAORDINARY! I've never seen such vibrant blue green water like that!! .......... I suppose the bride looks sorta' ok....

Just kidding of course - this is a wonderful series of very unique and truly different shots. You must be a fan of "From Here to Eternity" ? Oooops, now I'm really dating myself. - Stu

[jillybean]

YOU are a lucky & talented man.. those are so inspiring :)

[song4themoon]

Wow... did they go to their reception after that? Lol I would assume NOPE!

[tony fanning]

I take it you had to get in the water too?
Great series.

[saravrose]

very very cool.. now, fess up... this was after the wedding right?... But I think those are totally worth the dry cleaning bill.. besides, a woman only wears the dress once but the photos get looked at forever... great priorities with that couple..
