Wedding with snow and ice! =)

Had an awesome wedding in Jasper, AB!

C&C appreciated!

1. 1Ds3/10-22

3, 5, 7 - really nice!

These are just BEAUTIFUL Lloyd!

I have looked over them several times now and tried to find something wrong with them to critique it's just not happening!

Except.......in the last shot, to me it gives the feeling of solitude...just the two of them alone in the wilderness, I LOVE it.....then I spotted the roof of some building or so it looks like, down in the left corner. IMO that building subtracts from the initial impact this image had on me.

How's that for nit-picking? lol

wow Loyd. damn, they're amazing!

Lloyd,

Another "raise the bar a notch higher" Wedding set. These are just beautiful! I really like #1, #2, and #8. And, I agree with Kathy...crop #8 on the left to the edge of the tree and lose the building
[Edit] - Took another look...add #7 to my favorites...two young lovers lost in each other as the world moves around them! Love that composition

Inspiring work. You do such an awesome job in displaying the subjects in their environment...somethin​g I need practice on. Love 3 and 7. The movement in 7 is cool.

#2 - Love the tones from the natural light, posing is spot on. I probably would have done something similiar.

#4 - Love this one as well, great backdrop.

#7 - Great capture, love how it shows motion except for the couple.

Definately professional and way above your average wedding photos!

Amazing! All of them. #7 is my favorite. Is there a strobe somewhere or was this all available light? And were these all taken the day of the wedding??

Good work Lloyd -- I like 4 & 8.

thank you for stoppying by guys!

haha, yeah I debated over keeping it or not. I'm still not sure yet. The building is what provided all the ambient light for the shot. Otherwise it was pitch black. I couldn't even AF, couldn't even MF through the viewfinder (subjects were all black). I had to focus using the distance scale.

Kathy, Jim, maybe I'll give it a try without the building too. I thought it looked cool but the consensus seems to be no.

Thanks Christy!

Yes, 7 was available light, as well as 2 and 6. And yes, these were all taken on the day of the wedding! I prefer to provide a good mix of available light shots with flashed shots.

Thanks Jeff! Yes, I like to keep the environment in context of most shots. I figure, people choose these places because they love them, right? So I try my best to keep the photos in that context.

Thanks Todd! 2 was nice but it was hard to get even light in the shot! I'm not too keen on the shadow running right beside the groom and another more to the left of the frame. It's because the trees were so darn tall!

Thanks Scott! It was surely a fun wedding. Since you like 4, here is a variation on it...

Great to see you Jim! I like how 7 turned out also. Here is a variation on 1...

Great set, love the locations. Do you find ever find the 10-22 distorting your couples too much?

No I don't. It definitely isn't easy shooting people with an ultrawide lens, but if you do it properly you can really minimize/eliminate distortion. The best way is to first eliminate any perspective distortion from the image by carefully selecting your composition/angle in relation to the people. If you can minimize the difference in relative distance of the people to the lens, it will usually remove almost all of the distortion. It takes a lot of practice though, and I have still yet to master it.

FINALLY ! ... its good to see your work again

Lloyd. I love how you use UWA lenses for your work. And that last signature shot is amazing. Congrats!

#8 is just amazing. how did you keep them still for 13 second? I'm impressed.
