This wedding took place in Mesa, Arizona outside/inside a castle. Unfortunately I wasn't the hired photographer... I was the groom's cousin sitting in the crowd shooting over the tops of heads!

Regardless I feel as though I caught some touching moments and overall I think they'll be satisfied with the pictures they're getting for free. :rolleyes ... maybe ... :wink And because I didn't get paid, these don't get full PP treatment because I'm stuck-up like that.

This is the main reason why I went out west traveling the giant rocks of the deserts, I guess the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, Las Vegas and California were just side attractions. :huh

Here's the Schenck family (Pronounced like skank... I know, I hate my mom for her maiden name and make fun of her on a daily basis because of it). This is the same pose that the PAID photographer used, I didn't feel like changing it up and wasting time... plus there isn't a whole lot you can do with 21 people all wearing dress clothes they can't get dirty.

1. The Entire Family...

4. Going into the Castle were these gigantic wooden doors...

The end... lots of pictures, but you people like pictures for some odd reason? I haven't the slightest clue as to why? :rofl

    #11 IS nice.

    Don't be upset by the lack of comments... it is wedding season and we are all wedding photographers and therefore extremely busy.

    Looks like an interesting venue...

    One thing is that you never asked for any comments OR critique... so not to step on any toes...... they might prefer to be silent.

    Thanks Heather.

    They're not the greatest shots, but I wasn't really trying because A. I wasn't getting paid, and B. it was 110 degrees and I was in a full out suit. Not the smartest attire.

    And, yes I understand its wedding season... but I mean, come on! I see pretty much all of you guys that have weddings every week on here posting still? you can't be tied up THAT much. But yeah, I guess I did forget to ask for critique. headscratch.gif

    Quick and dirty critique...:D

    #3 appears to have been shot at too wode a focal length. The distortion is odd. Many of the images appear soft. Those shot indoors would benifit from a white balance correction, and also appear underexposed.


    ...and Heather said it well... be patient. Many folks like to have several looks before commiting their thoughts.....and it's true that this IS the busy season.

    The too wide of focal length is what I wanted for this picture. I wanted that "fish-eye" look even though I was using a 17-55mm lens.

    The softness has been corrected. I thought it was bad glass, but I microadjusted my lenses finally... The 17-55mm was -8 off. So that should be fixed now!

    Regarding the white balance, I had it adjusted in LR2, but when I exported it didn't keep the white balance settings or the crops I had ne_nau.gif ... so when I have time tonight I'm going to be updating them with corrected ones.

    I am being patient, I was just bumping it up in case people didn't notice it... and look, now they are commenting! mwink.gif
