Kevin and Stephanie

nicoleshilliday

I woke up on June 19th with major stomach issues, and really thought i wasn't going to make it to this wedding...found out a week later that I was pregnant. Well that explains it.

With that said, i really wasn't on my game during this shoot (or the wedding the weekend after). I am sure they will be happy, but wish i did a better job :cry

The reception hall was all wood and had uneven ceilings. I had a real real real hard time with the light in that facility.

C&C welcome and encouraged

nice shots! your "off-game" pictures are still way better than my "on-game" ones

I especially like 8 and 9. I actually like the composition of 9 better but I like seeing the groom in 8.

17 and 19 are fun too. And 20 is just oozing with cuteness

And i really liked the B&W post-processing... it looks very good to my eyes.

Oh... and of course, congrats on the baby too

Thanks for the congrats. at least i am feeling better now!

The rice pictures were so funny. They were pelted with it so hard! it was everywhere. I wish he was looking too, but he was protecting his eyes the entire time and i didn't get one good one of the two of them. ohh well. We were all picking rice out of each others hair for the rest of the night.

they were a very fun couple, easy to photograph.

8,9,12,17....

I much prefer a sey like this rather than a string of all posed shots. Looks like everyone had a blast.:D

Thanks Ren (BTW, Ren is on our list of names). There was a great balcony to shoot from for #18.

and being a Mom is the best! I have a 22 month old boy named Liam too!

Thanks Jeff. I am trying new things each time I shoot and learning lots from this forum.

I vote for Ren. So, they'll be how far apart? That's SO funny. I just told my hubby last night that I liked the name Liam. And since we'll NEVER have a boy...I'll share my other name I like: Grayson.

Well im convinced this one will be another boy, not that i mind. I think it will be great for them to play together and i already have boy stuff!

They will be about 2 years 5 months apart. I hope i can still work after!

OOO i like the name Grayson!

Hey Nicole! Congrats on the bun! This is nice work! Really nice detail work and some great candids. 8 and 9 are fabulous!!! You really captured wonderful emotions throughout the day. For nits I would just say that 7 is a little off-kilterish but cropping in post would sacrifice the cross so good call not doing that. 10 with the bride and a BM closing there eyes isn't so hot, and both 10 and 11 could use a little pop. Great job though! Overall this is a really great set!!!

Thanks Matt. I appreciate the feedback.

#7, i think there is something in the church that is off. Seems like i just couldn't get the whole thing straight.

I tried a little different processing in number 10 and 11, and think it ended a little flat. I'm not a huge processor, trying to keep things simple. I will stick with my clean processing from now on!

and thanks for the baby congrats. now if only i can stop these 2 hour afternoon naps and get some editing done.
