    Wow - where do you find these places?
    I really like 7, 13, 14 & 16

    There is a slight red line running into her head in #5 & #6 that I'd try cloning out. And I'm not too crazy about the horizon placement in #15. But overall, this is a really good set. I can see the steady growth in your style and I'm sure your satisfied client list is growing!

    Thanks for coming out of the closet to say hi win! I appreciate the comment and you are right... Liz is gorgeous.

    Thanks Ross. The red line is twine on the hay bales... doesn't bother me at all but I will look again at that to be sure what I do.

    As to where I find these places, I don't. My clients find them! These two locations were both repeats though. Actually these clients are from the same town as another pair of clients, and even though Liz doesn't know the other bride, she is friends of a friend of this other bride on Facebook. Because of that, Liz saw the picks my other bride posted and remembered my name. 3 months later Nick proposed and that day after she was adorned with her ring she called me to check my availability before she booked her reception hall. as it turned out, she liked both the place where I shot this other clients engagement pics and wedding day formals so we used both places for this E-Session.

    Marie and Chris's E-session thread at "The Little Farmer" apple orchard in Fond du Lac, WI

    Marie and Chris's wedding thread     images 4-8 from "Lakeside Park" on Lake Winnebago in Fon du Lac

    So that is how I pick my locations! Of course I had to drive a bit further than I like, but I find that it is often worth it to shoot someplace out of the ordinary.

    Thanks for all the kind words guys!!

    Nice set, but I particularly love 8 (my current obsession with sunflare lol) 13 and 14 (despite the branches through heads on 14 :D I'd probably clone them out, but ymmv). I really like 7, but on my monitor there's some artefacting around the bright spot - it looks like you've bumped up the contrast a bunch?

    Do you get a short break now? Sounds like you've been really busy!!

    Thanks Diva!

    Yeah, the sun was super bright and literally positioned between their legs for 7. I've been playing a lot more with flare too and for the record, 8 is all flare. Almost completely sooc (***edit*** oops... blacks and contrast were jacked way up. White ballance is daylight.) on that one, colors and all. this is another similar one that the flare just did a slightly different pattern, but on this one I think I added a vinette to highlight what was already vinngette-ish from the flare over the center of the frame.

    Thanks for the comments Diva, and yes I am done for now. Actually I have a small gig in January but nothing on the books again until May after that. Lets hope I get a lot of bookings after the first so I can keep afloat!

    Future bride looks a LOT like my sister -- different face shape, but same color hair and freckles!

    Awesome shots! I'd be torn over which one to blow up if it were me..
