Recently shot these out at Brazos Bend State Park here near Houston. We had some absolutely amazing natural light that day, I wish every session could be like this one!

I love this set! I would love it more if they were dressed up a little more. One thing that improved my sessions ten fold was writing up a wardrobe suggestion that I send all my clients before shoots. They rarely come in polos and jeans anymore when this used to be the norm! You have an eye for this - help the couple make your photos even better!

I disagree completely, they will be plenty dressed up for the wedding.

To the OP, #9 in color is the stuff! To many other great ones to list!

Theo, this is my third time seeing this set (this thread, your FB, your blog.) Gotta say, I really dig your style. Your posing is very strong! I'm borrowing some of these for my e-shoot on Saturday... ;-)

coolpinsky · Oct-19-2012, 11:18 AM #10

there are some nice shots - good job !
however, my favorite is no 8 - the color one. and .... why you didnt put them on the road on the last one image ? would be great I guess.
btw .... the guy is BIG !

Do you have a standard wardrobe suggestion form that you use with all you r clients or is it amended for each couple/shoot?

If it a standard form, can you share with us or post a link to a snap shot or PDF?

Very nice...good work...like the post processing.

#7, with the two of them sitting on the truck looking at the camera, may not have high selling power, but I would say it has high *staying* power. The kind of shot that goes on the mantle and 40 years later is still on the mantle, looked at every day. The kind of shot they'll ask you to shoot again in 25 years.

lifeinfocus · Oct-31-2012, 04:45 AM #15

15 is my favorite. Nice work!
