Both are really good. And that first one was probably tricky to expose correctly. Nice job!

[FamilyJules]

great shots! Can't wait to see more~

[leninglass]

Thank you guys very much. Yes it was difficult to expose. I had to expose for the skin and photoshop a lower exposure on the background after.

[gholman12]

Amazing work - do you do your post processing in LR or PS?

And just an fyi, I can't click on any of your links on your site, but it seems like you know that and are working on it.

[leninglass]

I edit in Photoshop. Lightroom 2 just for batch process for wedding pics.

Yes, I am aware of that. =] it's a technique I do, I weed out the ones that ask for the price. The ones that are really interested call me or email me.

[gholman12]

Wow - interesting approach! Has it been working?

(and I'm dismayed that you say PS, I was looking for some killer LR presets that would give the same color hues that you're getting :( )

[leninglass]

It's working real well for me. I get about 1 or 2 emails a week. The images will speak for me. Not the price tag. I win them over when I tell them the price. As I keep up with the pros around here and yet stay low on the budget.

I do not have any lightroom presets. Just adjust the basics and export to jpg.

[leninglass]

More pictures are up =]

[J.Bat]

OMG!!!!! I love your work.

[Grimlock]

These are really great. Love the setting!

If you are doing the wedding your life should be pretty easy it's always good when the bride already looks like a model

If you are doing the wedding your life should be pretty easy it's always good when the bride already looks like a model

was thinking the same thing. I'd do that bridal session free of charge just for the images.

[leninglass]

Thanks guys! Yes, she is actually a model haha I met her through friends of friends and she found me on model mayhem. Long story short, 2 years later she contacted me to shoot her wedding =]

I am doing her bridal photos ( charged ^_- )

[thepepperman]

I really like the way these turned out, I'm becoming a fan of back-lit photos but you've got lovely colours in the foreground. The last is easily my fav though! Plus the bride is absolutely STUNNING.

[Stan Jones Photography]

I'm in love with these, awesome job!

[biggpopa]

Great Shots!...I like them all.....bride is absolutely gorgeous

[leninglass]

Thank you very much guys =]

[BeritOlam]

Those are seriously good photos. Better than the ones I've seen in recent Christmas ads (Calvin Klein, A&F, etc.) Ashley definitely knows her way around a camera. :D

[zelseman]

Great shots and very interesting website approach. I have never heard of anyone doing that.
I assume it limits the type of customers you get.
Nice to see a fellow Okie photographer returning a great final product.

[leninglass]

Thanks guys. Yes Ashley does know her way around the camera. You point it, she knows exactly what to do lol. It's crazy. That it also helps that the fiance is a photographer too =D

The website approach works well, low price or high. It will bring them in if your work shows it. =]

[shannyD]

i love the sweet and cheery mood i get from looking at these..

Incredibly well done.. and yet again, and another kick in the arse to keep working harder to strive for more :)

Love your style!

I would be interested in knowing what PP you did on the 2nd photo. I love how they are completely in focus and everything else is blurred. I'm sure some of it was bokeh, but you had to have did a little blurring in PS and I'm interested to know your technique.

Thanks for sharing!

[leninglass]

Thank you so much for the kind words guys =)

As for the second image. Yes, the there were plenty of bokeh in the original picture. I had used Alienskin Bokeh for the left side of the image to even out the focus =) The pillars were a distraction.

[I26]

These shots are amazing. The bride is amazing as well, great for photographing.

[SurfKahakai]

My only critique is that he looks like he wants to punch her in #4. I love your style though. You can tell she's a model in #6.

[leninglass]

^^^ LMFAO!!!! hahahaha that gave me a good laugh lol but thank you
