Today's Wedding

[natatbeach]

First I want to say thank you so much to all the guys that repsonded to my deperate plea in the lighting forum...all your advice was absorbed and utilized...and I have a set of pictures that I could comforatbly show them without re touching...

I just got home and hour ago after 10 hours of shooting ( and realizing I need to charge more)

the first is my favorite--don't know why it just is...I sharpened it and added a slight glow...

the second is as is out of the camera (I will clone out that handle and adjust levels a bit)

the third is the flower girls and and the bride and I adjusted levels(that's it) but it is close to the look I was trying to achieve

and the last was adding diffuse glow heavily and touching out some freckles...I think this will be one of my most favorite pics of her....

I used up 2 gigs so I was proud of myself...

Thanks again to everyone for the last year of help from everyone on here ---so much so that I can finally say I am proud of my pics and feel secure about my still growing skill.

Great work Natalie.....I like #2 the best. I also love the window light on her face and the detail. Her stare out the window has me wondering if she thinking of her freedom (Do I really want to do this?) or is she thinking about sharing life with her new husband.....??? Hopefully it is the later....

Great work, and BEAutiful pictures......

Great job there Nat
Aren't weddings fun? They're a lot of work though, especially if you shoot digital. Film always seemed less work for me, probably because someone else did all the processing. Two gigs is about what I shoot at weddings too, sometimes more. Keep it up and post more.

Good work Nat. I like the reflected light on the flower girl's face. The second shot is really great.

The suspense was killing me! Great shots as I expected, I really like the first one too - unique. Congrads, I'm sure the couple will be thrilled.

thank you...I like shooting at this place because the "ready" room for the brides has great light
thanks for looking

[natatbeach]

I am soooo tired!!!!! when I can get to them I'll post some more...I just got done rotating and deleting---will post more as soon as I can

[natatbeach]

or is she thinking about sharing life with her new husband.....??? Hopefully it is the later....

Sha and her new hubby have been engaged for about 6 months but dated for two years...she was WAY ready and excited no nerves from these two

thanks for looking

[natatbeach]

These are nice!

We(lar and I ahve known her and her hubby for like three years...NEVEr realized she had freckles all over... it was pretty funny...I didi use the flash...I don't recommend trying to learn how to adjust it for the faint at heart... it was nerve racking...becuase all the ceilings were different and all of varying heights...it was brutal...but I survived and learn some lessons...

like I need a bigger lense

[natatbeach]

*Shock and Awe*

Don't know about all that but I sure get a kick out of you emjoying them so much
;)

Thanks so much for the encouragement

[natatbeach]

Great job there Nat
Aren't weddings fun? .

they can be fun but boy am I wiped...I NEVER expected a full day event to be so tiring...
thanks again for your encouragement and any tips of minimizing the energy ouput and still getting the job done would be great help.

[natatbeach]

Good work Nat. I like the reflected light on the flower girl's face. The second shot is really great.

thank You ...those little cuties stole the show...

[natatbeach]

The suspense was killing me!

me too! LOL...I am pretty please with the standard portraits and some of the ceremony...I think I need more wedding input so I'm not working so hard to yield the result so I will be asking lots od questions this coming year and I will post more soon.

[natatbeach]

I changed my mind
THIS may be my favorite ( not known for my decisiveness) ...I played around with it for about 5 minutes and like the simplicity...
