South Georgia Wedding - 04/21/07

[plycon]

Hi All,

Here are some of my shots from a wedding this past weekend. Amazing weather, with the wedding taking place at around 7:00PM Eastern Time. Great wedding, great guests, and no bugs! What more could you ask for?

I had some issues with shadows that I tried to address in post processing.

Comments and critiques are most welcome!

beautiful shots! i like 5 a lot

[MrsOpie]

lovely. I like #1 and #2

[tim]

You nailed #1, great shot. 2 & 3 also very good, #2 i'd crop a bit. #3 i'd like to have seen you stand on something and shoot down so you fill more of the frame, and increase brightness. #5 is good, #6 is cute i'd crop so it's twice as long as high, or something like that. #7 & #8 are good. #7 straighten #8 give more contrast, both need color temp and brightness tweaks. Great work!

Is that Gin Creek?

Great feel to these shots.

love the colour in 1

[bcap]

1 - Great capture. The colors definitely work well for it.
2 - Great detail shot. Again, I'm a big fan of the colors.
3 - Very nice. One of my favorites.
4 - I actually REALLY like this shot. I like how it shows the guests but in a very subtle way and then shows the (I'm assuming) friend speaking/singing/whatever she is doing. Very nice capture.
5 - Neat shot, shows the atmosphere and the location of the wedding. This looks like it was a very nice location
6 - LOL! I love this shot, this is great. Although, i'm not sure if I'm wild on the crop. I would prefer to have them looking into the frame - i.e. have htem on the left side of the photo.
7 - Fantastic shot. Great colors, great DOF. I do find the flowers immediately behind them a little bit distracting though.
8 - Nice shot, would like to see an increase in contrast a bit though. Seems a tiny bit flat and maybe a little underexposed.

All in all, you did a great job capturing the emotion and the atmosphere of the wedding. I would love to see some more.

Love the details on 1 and 2, great captures on 3 and 4, 5 shows the a little bit of everything. 5 needs better cropping and finally 6 and 7 are awesome, b and g's smiles are priceless oh and good vignetting on the last one, kind of concentrate on the b and g. keep up the good work.

Great Shots, where did the wedding take place?

Thanks everyone for your comments!

The crop on #6 is problematic due to wedding guests being directly to the right of the flower girl. I went with a much tighter crop for the final version given to the clients. It's still not what I would have preferred - but you can only work with what you've got. :)

Everything was tweaked on temp/contrast/levels before being handed over.

I mainly shoot product photography - but I've been wanting to try weddings, and have enjoyed them quite a lot over the past couple of months. I appreciate the comments and suggestions.

7 - Fantastic shot. Great colors, great DOF. I do find the flowers immediately behind them a little bit distracting though.

This is a crop of a much larger image. I worked up several variations. The window like effect on this version appealed to me. I had considered editing out (either completely, or by bluring) the flowers (and the preacher) - but, that was the set up. Going for a PJ style ~ I'm not sure it would be fair to edit out too much of the day's event. :)


Great Shots, where did the wedding take place?


This was to the west of Moultrie, at Gin Creek. I'm hoping to get the opportunity to shoot there again. Awesome location.

Beautiful Tony! great job. I LovE 5 and 8!!!

WELCOME!

[tim1960]

Very Sharp and Beautiful Shots!!!

I keep hoping I can book something a Gin creek also. Its so pretty. Seems like every wedding I book is at a tiny backwoods church with no plants, trees or shade whatsoever.

You did a nice job with these. I like them.
