Thanks. Using the 40D with the 17-50 f/2.8 Tamron. This Tammy is super sharp and the colors are fabulous. I find this stays on one body most of the day. All these were with that set up.

Great job, David!

#2 & #5 are my favs...

ChatKat · July 22, 2008

Beautiful
These are a lovely series...I can sure see a nice Graphi Album with them. I love the seated kiss - great angle/"pose".

shatch · July 22, 2008

Fantastic! Love them. Especially like 3, 5, and 6. What is your typical post processing on these. I like it.

Thanks Nik.....I kind a figured which ones would appeal to you. I also love #5 and will go in the port.....but I am seriously partial to the little bride's maid....she's beautiful.

Thanks Steven. Typical isn't quite how I could describe them even if they do have some similarities. I generally work through numerous presets based on what I'm looking for (selective lighting, blur, mood, etc.) then do the jazz in LR knowing what will happen next in CS3. I use actions and assorted layers and masks with my own concoctions until it develops what's in the mind's eye. They basically take their own shape when processing. I'll have to revisit them to see what I did.

Thanks for the kind words.

Scott_Quier · July 23, 2008

The expression on her face is just .... well, I don't quite know what it is but it's certainly interesting and makes for a great moment/memory!

Oh, I really like #2 - that is just a cool shot/pose/procesing. Well done indeed!

#3 is just too sweet for words.

#4 - Love the balance of the light between the outdoors (window) and the lighting on the B&G Well done! I do, however, find the greenary to be a bit distracting and might consider burning it in just a bit.

#5 - nice treatment!

My favs have to be #2 and #3 (but I'm just different).

adpace · July 23, 2008

Very nice!!!

jeffreaux2 · July 23, 2008

I like the grouping in #2.....over all though they are all really nice shots. Great job!

urbanaries · July 23, 2008

Awesome set. You've done a nice job retaining the detail and sparkle in that gorgeous dress! #3 is phenomenal.....one of the most arresting images I've seen from you ever!

I love the drama and feel of #5 just wish her expression were more....wistful? moody? something. I don't know, but that happens to me all the time!

I really really like #7, too. Very nice angle and detail.

Beautiful job!

Shima · July 25, 2008

3, 5 & 9 are my favorites though they're all awesome. I especially looooveee the way the color / exposure is on number 5

Moogle Pepper · July 25, 2008

Her expression in the first photo is priceless!

Thanks Kathy. Have not done a Graphi album as of yet but you're right..would look way cool. I was shooting 2nd on this wedding so it's doubtful the primary will use my images in this manner. I have a different processing style but will use them in the port

Heheh...it's good to be different Scott. Thanks for your detailed comments. Glad you like them. #3 is really too sweet for words...I love that shot as well.

Wow, thanks Lynne! #3 is also my fave. She is so beautiful. Once she warmed up to the camera and my sillyness she relaxed. Have some others of her as well throughout the day.

Thanks for the kind words.

DavidS · July 25, 2008

These are fabulous! I love the pp.

heatherfeather · July 26, 2008

Well you already know how I feel about #3, so I'll just skip mentioning how much I love it.

As to the rest, I suppose they'll do. Just kidding, THEY ARE FANTASTIC! My favorite (besides the famous #3) is actually #2... I love the richness of the wood in that room with the bistro tables- it just feels like a gentlemen's club, and I love it. Great job with the dof on that shot.

Thanks David & Heather! That was a really cool room. I ran out of time as I wanted to do many more shots there. I did have them all belly up to the bar but just didn't like it as much as this one. Thanks for the kind words.

Wedding Fun!
