Destination Cancun Wedding

Finished editing my last destination wedding and put a few on the blog. Go here for the rest... Let me know what you think.

Great images... I especially love the one of them lit looking through the woods... I don't know if there was any special techniques but I love it. The sky in the last one on the beach is awesome also... great job

I'm digging all of them...really like the last one!

I like the one of them on the mountain top the best. The last image is nice as well; did you clone out your flash stand? It looks like there's a burst of light just to the couple's left (camera-right), however the light falloff is also apparent in the image...but I don't see where the light was coming from! The distinct shadow tells me there was a strong light source close to the couple but I can't seem to find it

Thanks for the compliments. As for the lighting in the last one... I messed up. I hate it when the strobe is so noticeable. It is off camera to the right... zoomed into 105mm I believe... and held by my partner at about 15ft high... I really should have dialed it down a bit, and let another stop of light come in. I remember working quick as the sky was fading fast though.

i have not been around in a while... here my 2 cents...

Nice shooting overall.
The images of the bride have pushed orange - the skin tone.
The tilt of the ceremony just kills the shot - otherwise nice exposure.
The next shot is sweetness.(B&G)

The following shot would be more dramatic if you crop from the center of the top circular part of your "g" in the watermark.
It is meant to be dramatic and it is framed very conservatively.

nice compositions...

just my 2 cents.

I could have probably dialed orange down just a bit, but her tan/skin was difficult to work with. Flat lighting made it a bit easier, but still hard to get her on par with everyone else. White balance is spot on though, from my monitor. Do yourself and tell brides not to spray/oil/over-tan themselves. It just doesn't look good.

The tilt is to add some energy... I have that same shot straight on, but for me, ceremony shots are boring, which is why I sometimes get all crazy angle-ed.

Nice work - I could probably live without the tilt as well but I agree ceremony shots get boring lol.

I love everything about them. The tilt works perfect in the situation you used it in. I was floored by your starting rates, You could probably get triple that.

Too tilsy for me,otherwise very nice. Everytime I see a shot that is tilter, I feel like photographer didn't take an extra 2 seconds to properly crop the shot. I bet many clients feel the same since it's something not easy to understand.

Great pics!

These are just beautiful. I especially like the one in the woods. It really captured the intimacy of the couple.

Thanks for the compliment. The starting rate on my web site is more of a lead generator than anything. My average wedding is about 2 1/2 times...

The bride is gorgeous, and I like the light in 3i, but I'm not sure that that light quality brings out the best in terms of her form. The deep shadows especially below her clavicle and upper arms seem to emphasize a harshness, more specifically a gauntness that, perhaps only I subjectively see as not bringing out her beauty.

In 3ii, do I see semi-circular clothing marks on her skin ?

5 is spectacular.

Nice, punchy color, nice subject, beautiful destination. I'm also a bit biased, I love the Mayan Riviera!
