Beach wedding

Turned out pretty good. I bet you were in editing wishing that kid hadn't worn a safety green shirt! lol
Cool idea for the ring shot, would be better to see the diamond though.

Thanks! I tried to get the diamond to show up better but it kept slipping on me. Then it started to rain so I had to get the shot and get out quickly!

Pick up some putty to stick under the ring. Just takes a little bit.

Yeah, I've used that trick before but didn't bring any with me. It got left in my other camera bag.

still looks like you made the best of the weather!

#1 and #8 are my favorites. If I ever get the chance to shoot a beach wedding, I'm stealing your idea for the starfish-ring setup

Great set! Looks like you made the weather work, seems to have added some motion with her dress!

Nice shots, but in the first one with the rings, the engagement ring is hidden behind the shell too much IMO.

Bummer about the need to support the arch...that would make me mad. There are ways to accomplish this without putting a person there to hold it.

I let the designer borrow two of my sand bags to help hold it, but it still required two kids to hold it down. The arch was put up at the last minute due to weather.

These are really excellent. I love the ring shot. #3, go straight above the center groomsman's head. Is that the tentacle of a sea monster in the surf?

Ha! That's a seagull flying by.

beautiful shots !!

Nice pictures.

6 is incredible

Awesome work Jim. Thanks for sharing.

also think the ring image didn't work. was wondering on #6, the couple look nice but am distracted by the small group of people way in the background. have you thought about removing them from the image? also, do what you can to straighten the horizon line?
