Anna & Jeff's Engagements - Small Town

[AMeyer]

Here's a few from my most recent session - these two are city kids who are planning their wedding in the small town they grew up in. This is the first session I've had where it seems I'm really finding my style. I'm so critical of myself, so I'll point out what I don't like about them - I'd appreciate anyone else's input.

#1. I should have positioned her left hand better - on her knee or something....

2. Again, her hand just bugs me....

#3. Love her expression, but I want the bricks to pop out more (might re-process this one)....

#4. The antique Coca Cola cooler on the right is distracting to me.....

Nice shots! They look fun. Yeah, there are little nitpicks but they don't ruin the photos. you did well.

cross processing does a lot for bricks...

Awesome, Lloyd! I may try the old Urban Acid and see how it comes out on it.

This couple was super cool - they are doing Jones Soda (http://www.jonessoda.com) bottles for their reception with their images on them. I'll definitely be swiping one to keep!

I am loving 3 & 5. I love the way it suits their character. You've got the whole Geeky thing going on. Not sure if you use that word (Geeky/ Nerdy) in the USA.

PictureCrazy how did you do the cross processing?

All I did was run a cross process action. Do a search for Urban Acid and you'll find a link to download something quite similar. That's the one I used to use until I got showiteffects.

They're all really cute, I love them!

Cool effect Lloyd, I'm going to have to try that one!

Thanks everyone - this is the first shoot in a few weeks that I've really felt my "style" coming through - it really makes a difference when the couple is comfortable and at ease. My last few sessions have seemed really stiff (for lack of better word), and in this one I could really get my creative juices flowing. Also, using a new location helps out immensely - I get so tired of going to the same places over and over again.

hihihi *snickering* she said 'stiff' ...

But cool pictures though. I wish # 4 could be more zoom in.
It's a really cool location.
