Short but sweet wedding. 4th wedding.

[figmented]

So me and a forum buddy tore it up at a short 2 hour wedding this last weekend. It was short, but I still ended up with 1300 pics (narrowed them down to 600 doh) - and the bride was fun to take pics of! I'm sure there are better pics that I didnt pick (im so bad at picking the best ones) - hope to have the rest up later today.

She flew in from chicago to have the wedding at her grandparents before she passes away as she's REALLY old. She was a blast to work with! c&c please!

here is a link to my top 67 picks from the wedding. (http://slantphoto.smugmug.com/gallery/5136648_mQeyD/1/310465739_WymvN#310464000_6nQXD)

#1 and #4 are wonderful. #2 and #3 are good but flat, IMO. #5 is fun. #6 and #7 look fine to me, crisp and the light looks good. You gotta work with what you gotta work with. Last one is okay but her eyes look a little like black pits of despair, hehe. Good stuff.

Auroraskye - we should get together sometime - and shoot! Let me know if you ever want a 2nd photographer, or wanna shoot second for me!

My 2nd shooter was Jerry (you shot his and mandy's engagement session)

These are mostly edited in lightroom, and I tend to do more photoshop edits (lightening eyes, making them look 'cooler') when I do the actual prints and albums.. I do go through them all in lightroom though so that they all have a sort of consistant good look so when they print their own prints, they come out good still!

Also, as you can see, my better pics are the away from the group shots, I was trying for more artsy stuff.. :) (i know i went past the 8 img limit, oh well sue me)

Only my 4th wedding too, so i have too much room to improve!

Some great images and excellent captures. Not sure about the PP on 1, but 4, 11 & 15 are fantastic all around.

So where's the shots with grandma? I didn't look at your link but it seems like one of your favorite/best shots should have her in it :)

You're right!

I'm not done uploading my pics yet (geez 6gb upload takes forever)
