Some of the shots are very original, IMO anyway! I love where he's carrying her, and how you incorporated the winery into the photos...very nice!

Khristen · June 9, 2009

Love the winery shots!

Jeff_Milo · June 9, 2009

Thank you both for the kind words! The people at the winery were so great, they gave us complete access and actualy held customers outside for a few minutes while we took some shots all at NO location fee (I had contacted a few other wineries in the area that wanted between $350 and $500 for use of the grounds) Even picked up an extra improptu side shoot of the owners for their website which they paid me very handsomly for with a few bottles of wine. How do you beat that

Really nice stuff Jeff! Great job using the vegitation in the foreground, and that gorgeous natural light by the casks. I especially like 3, 4, 5, 6 With 6 being my fave.

Thanks Matt. When i first saw #3 in my camera I though it was trash with the leaves covering her face so I had them move over just a bit which produced #4. When I started reviewing them on screen #3 really started to grow on me, I just really liked the spontaneity of it. For the shots in the winery as I was setting up the owner started to close the doors for us, I was like Nooooooooooooooo please don't close those could not have asked for better light at that time of day.

Very nice stuff. I would warm up some of the photos a bit, maybe even a little split-toning. I love #5's color!

On two head portraits, I usually like to get the girls side profile, as opposed to the guys like in #8.

I really like the composure of #2.

I love 4, it's a real winner!

Thanks for the suggestions. I agree with you on #8. I prefer to shoot it the other way around and did take a few, but found the profile shots of Kelsey not as flattering to her as I would have liked and had to really turn her head to far into his chest, so I went the other way.

I have finally discovered the world of RAD actions, and have been playing with the processing on a bunch of pictures. Curious to see if you think these are improvements.

Beautiful pre-wedding pics taken at a wonderful location! Really good work! I am sure the couple won't regret booking you as their wedding photographer. Have fun at the wedding in July!
