holy crap, these are awesome though I'm not so sure most bridges are going to be looking at those for inspiration except for #1, that's just great.

What was the location?

Not something I see every day but I like it. Beautiful colors and beautiful woman. Everything keeps my eye moving, which is good. I really like #2, I cants eem to take my eyes off of her even with all the colors. Nice job.

Stunning...and very bold. I think most brides to be would look at it in that same manner...something they would not do, but wow, look at her!!! The pictures are awesome...Can't wait to see more..

Thanks!

She is an amazing young women, very bold and strong yet very female and enjoys life. Does not drink or do drugs just enjoys life the best she can and well as you can see likes to walk a little different path.

Again we captured some amazing images, these are just a few of the 100's we got!

Really nice photos Mike and great PP.

p.s. I just clicked your homepage link in your profile to see some more of your work and noticed that theres an extra forward slash in the link (http:/// instead of http://) no doubt amost people will get past that but some people may not look past the "page not found".

Great stuff on your website btw, very inspirational.

Someday, a bride like this is going to come along and it will make my year! She looks great, the use of light is fantastic. I'm sure she's really happy.

Beautiful use of light, and great PP! Very inspirational shots. The only thing that confused me was that you said "women" so I was expecting more than one woman. :D Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to seeing more, as well as the wedding images.

Mike, let me kiss the ground you walk on.... DARNIT you're good! :D

(So great to see you both here and on DWF!). So how much do I need to lick your boots to find out what post processing you did on these? Beside the amazing colors you've just done magic in post too! YAY!

Thank you everyone it was a fun session. and Petra you know me WAY too well to say stuff like that. You know I am just another person with a camera, nothing special, What I do is nothing anyone else can't do, its simple but effective, everything I try and build my business on.

For the processing it is a mixture of hand adjustments using Photoshop as well as actions which I have personally created or found on the net and then changed slightly to suit my look and style. The one thing I try and get away from is being an action only post work person. Actions are over used and well not orig. so if I use them they are the ones I create for my look.

Thanks again everyone (inluding Petra I guess) :) I will post some more soon, we have a ton from this girl!

Loving this set of shots... very different and fantastic colour and detail. Composition is also excellent in all of them. I am looking forward to seeing more of this set!

Thanks Mike (and yeah, I know you are a very down to earth guy, but your images makes you god like) :D

I was trying to figure out what you did, but sometimes it's so hard to tell if it's something you've cooked up all by yoruself or if it's just a "regular" action anyone could get, in the hands of a master. Love your color saturated images, they pop out from the screen and paired with a great eye, they are art!

I think I love her too!! LOL, great job.
I would love to be able to photograph someone like this.

Your work shows everyone what you do, and do so well ;)
These are every bit as classy as the first batch you posted. Very unique lady and very unique photography/pp. Be careful I may sign on as a fanboy :D

I love the simplicity, as you were saying, so much more effective than complicated composition. I wish I had my bridals done by you!

HATS OFF!

Ive just been through your flash presentation on your website, these definately were not a fluke you posted up. (not that im saying I thought they were, but have to be sure ;) ) Top notch work right the way through. Especially liked the railroad guys and the road crossing (beatle flavour)
Thanks, and I hope we are not a fluke, with Miller's Lab and Collages.net sponsering us in our Nationwide workshops as well as other business aspects I would hate to ruin both those huge companies on my lucky work :)

Seriously though thank you for the nice words, we are two simple guys who love creating the wedding day art. We know the rules of light and love to bend it to however we want too. Sometimes we can't but when we do and it works out, its just fun fun fun!

Thanks again for the nice words!

Thank you, I love color, its why (I am guessing) on the national speaking tour I have been known as "the Willie Wonka" of wedding photography. I feel when color is there embrace it, enjoy it, and use it and not hide any aspect of it. So thank you again for the kind words it truly humbles me when other who love this passion of art which I have enjoy my version of the artform!

Nothing special but I thought I would share with our group TriCoast's latest Bridal Session. WE have the pro's working on a real video but until then I wanted to throw something together for our myspace pages and given to our clients and other involved in making the day happen so flawlessly.
