Newport, RI (with sailboat cruise!)

What a fun day. Until the 20D broke. I was second shooting so I got mostly detail and other "less prominent" shots.

BEAUTIFUL photos! totally diggin' the silvery tones to these. #2 is one of the best jumping shots I've seen in a while! Love it

[CliffordPhotography]

Beautiful for sure! Really like your styling of these. Im just amazed with these photos. You did a great job. Sorry about the 20.

[deeslk]

Some really cool stuff here. Nice work especially the one with the faces all looking down at you.

[Svetlana]

Fantastic shots!! WOW!

[derky82]

These are great! Thats all I can come up with! haha no criticism... just GREAT!

[gregpphoto]

Well thank you guys very much! Shooting weddings is not something I saw myself doing three years ago, or even last year for that matter. But I've since realized how rank and rotten 98% of wedding photography is after seeing my friends photos from his wedding. He paid $5000 and got 600 unphotoshopped images of the worst caliber. Horizons were off (and not on purpose), there were frame creepers, things growing outta peoples heads, just awful on every level. I feel its my duty to show the world that yes, fine art and weddings can mesh just beautifully. I'm glad you guys like em so much and seem to understand what I am going for!

[FamilyJules]

What was your processing in #2? Did those girls ACTUALLY get that much air, or did you do some work to that? Just curious. Only share if you want to ;)

[brennasg]

Great shots!! I would be interested to hear the response to Julies question...and some info on the PP in these:)

No, they all got some serious air, but what I did was throw people from two separate shots in there into one. We could not get the military-like coordination needed out of them, so taking two shots (not even on a tripod, btw), and then stitching the people in there who didn't jump fully well from the first photo, gives me this. So is it faking it? Sure, but in reality, everyone did jump to the height you see, just not all at once!

Greg,

Gotcha! That makes total sense. Very cool shot!
Thanks for sharing your secret ;)
Oh, and kudos to those girls for getting that much height! My girls barely give me a few inches when I ask. I love willing subjects.

[4mr4do4sho]

Yeah, as stated above great shots and great PP. Love the facial expressions of everyone when they are looking down and of course the jump shot is creative. Good work!

[iTimmeh]

#2 is terrific!

[CoquetteRN]

These are awesome!

[ScootersDaddy]

Wow, spectacular series! :)

[TamEric]

wow

[Phenix3st]

2,3 are pretty awesome. The waves are sweet crashing against the rocks, and everyone jumping in the air is fun:)

[Zlatko Batistich]

Nicely done. I especially like the first photo of the couple.

[Tvelet]

LOVE the first three!

and that's why we got into it. except it was our own wedding photos that we were completely pissed off about. :) oh well, at least we were able to edit them to some extent.

by the way, great photos. that jumping one is great. i don't know why i've never thought of fixing the jump shot the way you did.... i will be giving that a try the next time. nobody ever jumps at the same time. lol

[Michaelmjc]

Nice job on these :)

I'm all about making the moment appear as it does it my head, and if I have to clone a bit here and there, I'm all for it. I'm also all for others doing radder cooler stuff, so have fun and good luck!

the photoshop on 1 is awesome. do you have an action for that?

[gregpphoto]

Actually I don't. I have my photoshop process down pretty pat using mostly shortcuts, so it wouldn't save me all that much time. More importantly, I like each of my images to be unique right down to the processing, so when you see two shots of mine that look similar, in reality, they have small differences.
