Since I haven't posted in awhile, here's some pics from yesterday's...

[jessiper]

Had a super super sweet couple last night, and the bridal party was very nice too. The bride was a little camera shy, she said she doesn't like having her picture taken, but I can't see why because she's absolutely gorgeous! It was very windy for the most part, which was cool for me because it makes the veil do fun things, but it aggravated the bride. lol Here's some pics, and there's more on the BLOG (http://jessicawatsonphoto.blogspot.com)if you'd like. Also, there's several other wedding's on there that I didn't post on here, if you're bored and have some free time. *wink*

There was a beautiful sunset last night, and during their first dance I got pretty shots w/it, but dang this 8 image limit!

Wish I could post more!

[Toogy]

Jess, break the rules like me and Bryan do! just wait for a few replies and then post more!! lol.. right bryan?>

Anyways.

#1 - Absolutely LOVE it, one of the best hanging dress shots I've seen.. PERIOD

#2 - Really like it, like the version on your blog better with her looking over her shoulder, but still a lovely image

#3 - Good shot, not my favourite, but nothing bad about it.

#4 - WOW, amazing!! looks like something I would do, great emotion, good job!

#5 - Great candid moments of the girls

#6 - Nice veil in the face!

#7 - OK, doesn't do that much for me, but still a nice full length portrait of them.

#8 - Very nice!! nice catch.

I'd probably say this is the best stuff I've seen from you, and I will tell people that they really need to check out your blog, because there are many more great shots on there from this wedding.

[jessiper]

Thanks, Jeff! I know #7 isn't super amazing, but I'm all about simplicity and emotion, and that's why I really liked that one. And, I was happy that even w/the harsh lighting, you can still see their faces.

You mean this one?...;)

[Toogy]

Yes, her eyes look amazing and I really like her smile.

[jessiper]

I know, she's beautiful. It was actually difficult taking pictures of her, because she kept closing her left eye half-way, but you can't really tell in that one since her right eye is partially hidden.

[mizuno]

Nice shot.

[jessiper]

Nice shot.

As in you like one of the shots, or "nice try"?

[mizuno]

They're all nice.

Everything is just dandy. :)

[jessiper]

Everybody's happy.

It's all lovey dovey in here. :)

[jessiper]

Ah, now I get it...

Well, I don't believe you. If there's something you want to say about my images, but feel you're not allowed to, feel free to PM me your comments anytime. I respect your work and opinions.

[liza]

Good, solid series. And I love the dress shot. It's one of the better ones I've seen on this forum. The fourth one is a great capture of emotion as well.

And don't take Cripp's comments personally. I would imagine they're in response to the "LISTEN UP" thread. ;)

[jessiper]

Thanks, Liza!

[lil_miss]

THeyre gorgeous :) what kind of processing did you do on the dress shot? #1

[jessiper]

THeyre gorgeous :) what kind of processing did you do on the dress shot? #1


Thank you!

Not much, really. The wide angle already gave it a vignette, but I added some. It also already looked desaturated, but I desaturated it just a little more, and used the Kubota Daily Multi-Vitamin on it, and sharpened it.

[cdifoto]

Nice work Jess. Can I have you 2nd shoot for me, except do all the work and post-process too? :D :p

[jessiper]

Nice work Jess. Can I have you 2nd shoot for me, except do all the work and post-process too? :D :p

I'd love to! :D Actually, I do think we'd get along well. We seem to have similar senses of humor!

[cdifoto]

I'd love to! :D Actually, I do think we'd get along well. We seem to have similar senses of humor!

I don't think I could. I'd never shoot a single frame. Especially if you don't wear a big burlap sack. I can't work with gorgeous women...

Oh wait yeah I can. My 1D is drool-proof. :D

[jessiper]

I don't think I could. I'd never shoot a single frame. Especially if you don't wear a big burlap sack.

Well, you're in luck, then...that's exactly what I wear! ;)

[cdifoto]

Well, you're in luck, then...that's exactly what I wear! ;)

Uh oh this isn't good. Now I'm gonna have burlap fantasies.

[jessiper]

Me, too! They're pretty HAWT!

[cdifoto]

Me, too! They're pretty HAWT!

Oh you know it! Rawwwrrr! ;)

[jessiper]

purrrrrr....

[cdifoto]

Whoa.

:p

[jessiper]

Tonight is very strange! lol

[Toogy]

Tonight is very strange! lol

Yes I would agree!!! lol

[cdifoto]

I'm not drinking but I'll say I am.

[jessiper]

I'll say I'm sleep deprived!

[cdifoto]

Works for me. I was drinking and she was half sleeping. It's the truth officer, I swear.

[MrsOpie]

Jessiper, these are really stunning. I love the use of light and the beautiful post processing.

[joshbehan]

i really like #4, good emotion, and conversion.

You people suck. We had such an awesome off-topic derailed train going on there. :mad:

:lol: :p

[jessiper]

Yeah, you totally ruined it...oh wait, I loooove compliments!! :D Thank you!

[kja]

Beautiful! I, too, love the dress shot. And I like #3 :)

In #6 that white rail or whatever it is (probably part of an arch or something?) in the left corner distracts me, though.

[jessiper]

Thanks!

That white thing was part of their arch. BTW, it's decorated w/hops, which I thought was interesting.

[black_z]

Best gown shot I have seen in a WHILE!! :)

[jessiper]

Best gown shot I have seen in a WHILE!! :)

Thank you, I appreciate it!

[ldibo]

I LOVE the first one. It looks very elegant. The rest are beautiful as well. I definately like the second one you posted of the bride better. Great work!

[RichNY]

A really great series of images.

[jessiper]

Thank you Lynn and Rich!

[jamiewexler]

Jess - your work always impresses me and this wedding is no exception. Excellent job!

[Bobster]

#1 is a great shot, i'd get rid of the flowers on the left and the G5 (sorry the bin thing on the right) and i'd happily have that hanging on a wall in my lounge :D

#2 is very emotional, does she have a split lip or something?

#3 not too keen on the PP, but i like the shot :)

#4 i'm sure they'll have no hesitation in having a large print of this one :D

#5 were you stood in a rabit hole or something? needs straightening ;)

#6 is looking a little on the hot side, prolly where the sun was, or the PP - the gap in the hedge to the left of her head is distracting as well - i'd clone that away..

#7 same as 6

#8 liking the idea of the shadow, but the pp has done something to the grass i don't really like the look of.. (its prolly a little oversharpend for the web)

#9 she has a very nice look, well captured :D

[picturecrazy]

these are really nice! you did an awesome job!!

[jessiper]

Wow, thank you Jamie & Lloyd, I appreciate it!

Robert, thank you for your individual image comments, I'll work on some of them a little more. She didn't have a split lip, but that was her lip. Actually, when I first saw her I ALMOST told her that she had something on her lip, but then realized it WAS her lip. Phew! Yes, the grass thing was from the sharpening for web.

[johnstoy]

Very interesting set...
Re; #5:
I absolutely love #5,all the gals "have" spectacular eyes and super smiles... Great moment... I'll have to try and inspire the Ladies or even the Gents at my next event to do something similar... Let them loosen up, smile, and enjoy the moment... You really took charge and set them up perfectly...

[jessiper]

Thank you, John! I really liked that one too, so thanks for noticing! :)

[joruiz]

cdi and jessiper you're extremely funny! I can't stop laughing..

Jessiper, All pics are great, except for no.7. It's good but not great. I LOVE no. 1, looks like a painting with all the wall texture, and no. 4 and 5 are fantastic too.

Mizuno... I agree with you, 'listen up' wasn't necessary.

[Jimbo24]

Awesome shots!!!

[jessiper]

The other night did get pretty strange!

Thanks for your comments!


Awesome shots!!!

Thanks, Jimbo!
