The other day, I did a quick shoot with Brad & Shannon. They were a lot of fun, and she was glowing for the entire shoot. It was great.

I tried a few new things with this couple, so I'd be very interested to hear what you guys think of the shots. So C & C definitely welcome.

1 seems alright. Retro colors work well under the proper application. I had covered a wedding for a couple which were into retro stuff like clothes and furniture. I knew it was their style so it was fitting to cover their photography in the same manner. Use it accordingly.

i like 3, 4 and 7. They're pretty much flawless.

5 is cute but it is desperately begging to be cropped!

8 is on the right track but those plants are dominating the composition and the two are overly blurred. It's nothing you can fix, I'd just say it's a scrapper.

2 - sorry, really don't like this one. The crops are not great and the 2 images are too similar. that background texture is quite redundant.

I love #1, and I think #5 works great with all the negative space, I like those kind of shots...did you do the tilt shift effect in pp?

I absolutely love #8. You can tell they're really happy and it's got such a wonderful mood to it. Makes me smile :) Beautiful set!

Thank you all for the comments! Very helpful and encouraging

Pearlallica, I really do agree with you on some point here. I've since cropped down #5 a little bit, just to the reduce the negative space slightly. I think it's an improvement. And I see what you're saying about #2...I'll have to work with it a bit more in the future to see if I can improve the concept.
