Engagement May 16, 2007

Their wedding is in a couple weeks. I think they figured they'd get some practice before the big day! The groom is the type who does NOT enjoy taking photos so it was a challenge to get some emotion out of him. But when he DID smile, it actually looked natural so that is great!

We started at a very popular spot in edmonton, the Alberta government legislature grounds.

Nice work once again LLoyd!

#1 and 2: I wish you were perfectly centered with the building and the door. There is a bit of a skew and it bugs me (#2 a bit less than 1 - may just be your crop).

#3 Very dramatic lighting. I'm not quite sure about the pose though. They seem a bit stiff and uncomfortable.

#4 is fun, but may not work for everyone...

#5 is my fav in this set

#6 don't quite cut it for me. I'm not crazy of the lady whose reflection we see clearly. She is pale (her shirt) and grabs my attention.

#7 passes, given the context.

Still some nice work

Nice work. I think #3 + #5 are awesome.

Your work is amazing! Very inspiring...tons of emotion on all pictures!

#'s 2, 3 and 4 are my favs.

Congrats!

TOTALLY love this shot! Quite nice and good pose!

I personally love #7, good job Lloyd.

thanks y'all. I felt rushed the whole shoot because we were trying to work with the spotty rain. it would rain and then stop, and then start and then stop it was frustrating to say the least. so yes, definitely didn't have the proper alignment on... well... probably ANY of them.

loving number 3 - very dramatic.

Good job. All the images are great.

These are really good Lloyd. I love the dramatic sky and angle of #3.

really like them all.

7 is lovely. means alot to them i can imagine!

I love 2, 4 and 5 but they are all great. Well done

In the last one it took my eyes a while to find them..

Lloyd I like the effects of these. I have a question about #7. I really like the concept inthis photo. You did a great job and the sepia is perfect. Did you remote trigger a flash inside the starbucks from outside? If so, waycool!

#5 and #6 are wonderful Great job!

Great photo's - fabulous set.

It's a good job you're doing it for him then!
