    7 is all sunlight. No artificial light source used.

    Thanks! I got really lucky with some of the lighting outside under the trees :)

    I would have liked to however they were all really cold (yeah jumping would have warmed them up, hindsight is 20/20) so they all rushed through the group shots. I later realized that I was a bad girl and forgot to get pics of just the groom w/ the guys aftewards, d'oh! Ah well, at least the other shots seem to make up for it...

    Great shots! I loved the top one (makes me excited about fall) :) ... and the detail shot of the earrings on the shoes!

    Keep rocking!

    Great stuff Shima! I love the first 3, and 2 being my favorite. I really like when a subtle part of the frame tells a large part of the photo's story, and you left just enough water and sky pop through to do that!

    Thanks! #2 is my fave as well I just love how it came out.


    By the way, for anyone wondering, I just realized that the *only* places I used flash in this set were for the last 2 shots. Hadn't realized that before until I looked over them all again. Sunlight, shade, and fast glass were my friends.

    Are those soda cans I see in #7?

    Great work - and your ambient stuff worked out very nicely.
