We didn't totally mess it, as it was flippin' FREEZING out.. I couldn't ask the bride to get in the ice cold water..... I would've felt too bad, haha.
Anyways, here's a few more from the shoot. It was SOOOO much fun! Again, going for a slight vintage look... hence the PP

Thank you!
Yes, I did...I love mixing actions to make my own recipes... none of these are just one straight action

like 4 the best. i really want to like 5 the best. Clone out the car, ladder or whatever and even that building if you can. And straighten it using the trees in the middle behind them. Then, I will like that one the best. Would like to see that one done that way... hint, hint.

Edit... looking at it, maybe you could also underexpose the bottom the dress a bit... i dunno.

Nice set. The bride has an uncanny likeness to the late Nicole Simpson. OJ's wife.

These are all really nice Jules.....I wish I knew more about these 'actions' that everyone talks about. I do very little PP at the moment and I dont have PS........
Keep up the great work cheers Val

thanks for the kind words everyone. And thanks for pointing out the distracting BG in 5, Scott. It's been taken care of :)
Val: Do you use PhotoShop CS2 or above? if so, go here and learn more... I love it. http://www.gettotallyrad.com

I'll let everyone know which photos they use. They should get back to me by tomorrow. So excited

That is dedication to haul in a cast iron tub - but it sure does the job. Nice series. I like #4 the best.

Ahahaa, these are great. You might try dodging the forest or burning the bride/groom a tiny bit to add a little pop, but then again the post processing here is designed to flatten out the contrast anyway. Excellent poses too.
