Kari & Brian - The Wedding

Jeff_Milo · November 7, 2008

A while back I posted some pics from this wonderful couples engagement shoot. Thought i would follow up with a few from their wedding. It was by far the most challenging wedding I have done to date. An unorganized wedding coordinator made it a very long day for all involved. Fortunately the Bride and groom are just to much fun to let her ruin the day.

Here are a few of my favorites. Your C&C is always welcome and appreciated.

1.

2. Dreaming of her day

3.Reflections

4. No Peeking....

5. The Guys

6. The flower girls always steal the show

7. The Kiss

8. Sneaking away for a quiet moment

9. Remake of their favorite shot from the engagement session

10. What to do with a big bridal party and a small site.... the Shay Stephens crop

11. Love

12. Stealing a kiss

As always thanks for looking

These are some great shots, love the creativity that was used. A few that stood out to me:
#3-I love this idea and the pose of the girls in the background.
#4-Awesome
#5-Great pose for guys
#10-I like the crop and how everyone is spaced out
#12-Love the look on the peoples faces in the background

Agreed! 4 is wonderful. Love the posing in 5 and 10. #1 is very storybook and sweet. I couldn't agree more about the flower girls... I find I am always takings way to many pictures of them, but they are so darn cute!

Thank you all for the kind words, they are very much appreciated. This was by far my toughest wedding.

I was very nervous about #4, but not nearly as nervous as the Bride. It was taken before the wedding, and she was very supersticious about him seeing her. So much infact that we had to do all of the Bridesmaid pictures in their dressing room. It was a very small site and she did not want him seeing her from out a window. So glad I talked her into it.

The picture was actually inspired by a post I saw here on Dgrin. I appologize for not remembering who's post, but it was a similar picture where the bride and groom were seperated by a wall and the doors were next to each other. I remember seeing it and saying if I ever get a chance to do something like that I gotta try. I am going to have to go back and look as that person deserves credit for the inspiration, theirs' was an awsome picture.

Exactally, I do the same thing. Hmmmmmmmm sounds like the begining of a separate thread "Favorite Flower Girl Pictures". Maybe I'll start it when I get home tonight. If someone wants to beat me to it feel free.

I think I know which one you're talking about, believe it was from a set that Mr. Babicus posted: http://meninenuotrauka.lt/gallery/inesa_rimvydas/Inesa_Rimvydas018.jpg

As for the set, looks like a lovely wedding despite it being "tough!" I know how those go!!! I really like #1, looks a tad dark but I think the lighting and moment work overall. The lighting in 2 looks very different in contrast, not sure if this was the same time/context or not.

I am a huge fan of #4 and 5. Really love the creative grouping of the guys in the brick hallway. Very nicely done!

The light in #7 is spectacular. Nice that the officiant is hidden somewhat (with a bit of PS he can be gone entirely?) I have had a few officiants step aside entirely for that moment, and I think that is a very thoughtful/classy thing to do!

Also a big fan of the Shay Stephens setup and crop in #10. Can definitely see that photo as a full spread in a graphistudio book

all in all a great set. Hopefully the time spent designing the album won't be as stressfull....from the other threads it looks like you're well on your way! (I am still agonizing over which vendor/design application to dive into this week!!)

Nicely done throughout. I love the pano....definately want to try that one

. Great job!

mayassa · November 10, 2008

Not only great shots, your website looks great also

heatherfeather · November 10, 2008

I am loving #12. The rim light plus the folks and flowers in the back just make that shot. Excellent work. Seems very candid, but is so nicely framed it could go either way. Love that shot.

I also love the pano but just wish there was a little more light on the b & g. Extra great posing on that one.

The reflections one is really nice too! Way to make the most of a small room!

Well done
Nice work, Jeff. Love the creativity. Will have to keep it filed in the future use file. Great inspiration.

FedererPhoto · November 12, 2008

Great work. I particularly think 3, 4, 5, and 11 are well done/concieved.

10 is a great shot/idea but they seem a bit dark... given they are the most important people in the shot - I think lightening them a bit might make the shot stronger.
