August 25th - Getting better every time!

[spphoto]

Here's some of my favorites from the 25th. I totally feel like I'm getting better every wedding I shoot. Let me know what you think though, you don't have to be nice!

1. The groom's mom and stepfather hem the ring bearer's pants (they were about five inches too short as of an hour before the ceremony).

2. Groom straightening his son's (one of the ring bearers) vest.

14. These guys were troopers, I brought out the unbrellas and they wanted to play in the rain (bride works at a dry cleaner so she said "I don't care if I get wet and dirty, I just want fun pictures!". Did I mention I loved her?)

15. And they didn't even like ice cream...

16. They stayed in the "Arctic Suite" at the hotel, so I had to get some photos on the igloo bed (the hotel has a number of theme suites, last time I shot there the couple was in the "Ancient Suite" which is all greco-roman.

Some great fotos here.. the bride is gorgeous.
i dont know if the grooms pics are masculine enough.. but overral some very nice shots... good colour process on all and seems like you caught some raw emotion.. nice :D

[Grace]

you did such a great job!!! tIt looks fun! beautiful couple...I do love fun brides-doesn't it make the job easier!! I really would love for you to rotate the pics so we can view them just a bit better!

[spphoto]

They were rotatoed... grr somedays I hate computers...

[howzitboy]

what great shots! i really liked this batch and yeah, you are getting better each wedding!!

cant find fault with any of the shots (cept too much grain in the receptions but easy to fix with noise ninja) but the grain works too.

Superb! Those are amazing. Thank you for posting. The whole series got my attention. You got the B&G, the bridal party, the old people, the young people, the groups, the emotion. Very nice.

[Toogy]

Awesome shots!! you did an amazing job! Very nice emotion captured in these images!

[CateUK]

Great series! Love that the B&G were up for going out in the rain!

(just 5. wish the groomsman on the left was looking at the camera or at least not so uncomfortable!!)

[picturecrazy]

great stuff. you definitely are getting better. too many pics to leave C&C though...

[tony fanning]

These are great. I too thought the grooms shots were a bit `camp`!
The walking in the rain shot is very good!

[cdifoto]

Definitely improving. Whoopin' my ass actually... :)

[GertS]

Very well done. :)

[dave.richards]

Nice work Stefanie! Images are sharp, exposures are good...great captures. Keep it up!

[dsb]

you have some awsome shots, im a real noob to this but the only thing i dont like is the icecream board behind them, maybe you could reduce the colour of it?

[CanonLaw]

very nice! I wish I could do so well! I always think, "Hey, I am getting better." and then people like you post your pictures and I am put back in my place. :-p
