A Maine Mountain Wedding

I'm a lurker for the most part, but, now that the season is officially well under way and my days in the classroom are numbered (3, not that I'm counting), I decided to show off the "horendous" location I had to work with this past weekend. C&C welcome, as always.



Roof toop deck, complete with a hot tub, at sunset.


The bling on the guardrail cutout along the deck. It shows the ski trails of the mountain that the mansion looks at.


The view of the mansion at night. (Excuse my darn watermark. I know it's annoying and I'm working on replacing it.) Wish I had done it an hour later with the stars out.

Great work, I'd love to see more of the wedding!

1. Straighten this out and you have a winner
2. If you get down lower than the couple you will see more of them.. I don't like how the horizon cuts her head off.
3. Nice detail, could be stronger if you line the rings up on an intersecting third.
4. Perfect. If you had waited, you would have lost the blue color in the sky.

Thanks for the feedback!

1. I straightened it based on the tower on the right. What line would you have used? It was a bit hard for me to decide.
2. I was kicking myself after the fact. We literally ran up the tower, snapped the photo, and went down to catch some family members before they left.
3. I'll tweak the crop for the final.
4. Thanks! the 30 second exposure paid off.

These are just a few of the sneak peeks that I've been through. I have a couple others on my facebook page.

I agree with needing to straighten number one. First glance, and I noticed the building in the BG was out of whack. Then, upon closer examination, the bride, groom and a couple of people next to them are canted to the right and not straight up and down...pull a vertical line, or put a piece of paper on the screen as a straight edge, and you will see what I'm talking about.

Very nice work.

Thanks for sharing.

I got schooled by my husband, so I definitely see it now. It will be perfect in the final edit. Thanks!
