Ok, I like the pictures, however there are some things that I think could be done better/changed....
Pic #1 Put the ring on her finger and have his hand holding hers as if dancing or something similiar. The light will catch the diamond and make it pop more.

Pic #2 - Nothing...nice pose and compsosition!

Pic #3 - She looks like she is holding on for dear life and her neck is straining a little. Change his hold a little and have his right arm around her waist with his left arm supporting her upper back. More natural look and she is better supported, not straining.

Pic #4 - Nothing to say on this one.

Pic #5 - Way cute picture!! This is my favorite of the set! Maybe instead of a center crop one off to the side? Not sure, but I like this shot!

I think you did a great job with the couple, it looks like it was a fun shoot! Thanks for sharing and keep posting!

Thank you so much. I agree on number 1 something needed to be different. They bought her a new ring that was alot bigger just for some reason didnt bring it with them

White balance on #5 appears way off, judging by the girl's skin tone.

I think its the action I ran on it that did that cause the original is not like that, thank you so much for your comments! I love to hear c&c it makes me better

Good series and they're probably very happy with them. I particularly like the posing in #2 and 5!

The photos seem a bit washed out to me and lacking in contrast but that's my personal preference... so to each his or her own!

Great Series. They do look like a fun couple...

Is #5 the woman bowing at the feet of the guy? Is she worshipping him

lol

Just wondering. Pose doesn't do much for me, but as Jenne said, each to his own...

rsmedley · 31st of May 2008 (Sat)

#1 doesn't do much for me. I really like #2 and #3. I don't like at all the "ass" shot in #4. #5 looks, well, condescending. But that's just me. If the couple likes them, then that's all that matters! Technically, they're all very good.

jenne · 31st of May 2008 (Sat)

Hmm... after #5 was mentioned as such in the two posts above, I took a closer look at the photo and I can see what they're talking about.

I think the pose in #5 may not have been so "condescending" if she was looking into the camera rather than looking up at him with that particular expression. I've seen similar poses done quite well where the woman is looking straight into the camera or off into the distance and it comes out looking very striking.

The bare feet are cute. I like them all.

collierportraits · 1st of June 2008 (Sun)

Hey, not that worshipping the guy is a bad thing at all!

collierportraits · 1st of June 2008 (Sun)

Also, doesn't she kinda have Shrek feet?
