Been away for ages - couple of wedding favs

david_h

Been so busy this last year and I'd forgotten what a nice community this is. We are building up a nice little wedding business here in New England and I thought it's about time I shared something here.

We try hard to have a product that's slightly outside the norm, here are a couple of my favorites from last year.....



We are finding that our couples totally love the look of our images - their mothers often hate it! What do you folks think?

That's pretty funny....I can imagine parents would have a tough time giving up on the old "traditional" style of posed wedding photos. I think it's pretty cool that you are trying something new and different. With only 2 examples it's a little hard to say I'm totally into it, but I do find them interesting and would like to see more. I think your timing was right to try something new as wedding photography seems to get more and more less "structured" shall we say. I think the technique works really well with the couple dressed flapper-style....afterall, how many weddings have you attended where the bride and groom are dressed in 1920 clothing? Share more!

I like both shots, for different reasons.

The first - the composition is great and I like the look and mood of it. It is soo cool.

The second has an edginess that I really like and, like Susan say, the PP fits well with the theme. I wondoer about that artifact on the bride's nose. It that a scar or something that came from the PP? Either way, I question leaving it in the image. Just my $.02 worth

You no doubt have a lot of skill. I took a quick look at your site and there is a lot of awesome stuff there.

The first photo is cool, but for some reason I want to see a face. I wonder what it would look like with the bride turning and looking over her shoulder?

Nice work..

Thanks for the kind comments guys.
Scott, the thingy on the girls nose was a scar. I thought about editing it out (about 5 seconds of work) but I left it in because I wanted a kinda edgey shot - that's why I left the tatoos as well.

These were actually guests at the wedding, not the B&G. Here are a couple of other guests:



and the bride and groom after the cake cutting:



It was great how everyone got into the fun and dressed up.

I think uniqueness is what we all strive for in our photos...Good job!

One more, trying to liven up a nice formal shot with an old film look:

Oooooh--my favorite is that first one. Such a great idea--showing the friendship/support between the girls.

I'm diggin it
I like the fact you are thinking out of the box...not only in post but comping the shots as you do. There is a real beauty in this work...even though outside of traditional, it still has a flavor of uniqueness and elegance. Way cool.
