p.1 #1 · valerie & steve | wedding day


Just finished up this set and wanted to share a few. Let me know if you like em or hate em. Challenging wedding in this regard:
-bright bright bright time of day for formals and portraits (100 degrees at 11am in AZ)
-lots of down time and travel (not a traditional wedding, not a lot of PJ opps)
-reception is very big and dull (local LDS chapel, thats the way they come)

Appreciate any feedback. Of course, more on the blog

Was their no way to stitch up 4 a bit cleaner, yo? Love 11. T/S seems unnecessary here. Some good shots, but doesn't seem like the strongest I've seen from you.

Thanks for the comments!

jerm-not really a complete set, not really a typical wedding. 4 is not meant to be a perfect stitch, just 2 side by side

cbres-no, she is hispanic!

So I am guessing you don't have a lot of LDS weddings in AZ. We have a lot of them in UT what are somethings that you do to get the best out of LDS wedding.

Highlight - #10

Lowlight - All the purple in the bride's dress in #9. Pull down the blue & purple saturation.

Considering the time of the day, these look fantastic. 4 can use some love and 15 is my favorite!

I like the non-typical exit picture in which the couple are not centered on the steps. It also works nicely in black and white. Like the complete set.

10 and 11 have a very classic, timeless feel so often missing from "modern" wedding 'togs repertoire. Well done.

10 is the winner for me as well, although I think that the flare placement in 6 is pretty cool.

Looks like some challenging conditions, and you handled it with grace.

I find the TS effect on 13 gratuitous, but I'm a little prejudiced there so it may just be me

I love the exit shot. Its got ENERGY. That makes me happy.

TS was just for giggles I guess, had a new assistant with me and I was trying to explain how it works. Ended up liking it, dunno why it made the blog now that I think of it, its nothin special

Thanks everyone for the comments I heart FM

I had a couple of these weddings- long waits, no good photo opportunities etc. My last wedding was this way--- 8 hours of coverage and only ~300 photos will make the cut, really low shoot count for me.

mmm key lime pie

Not liking blue dress in #9.

#6 looks... splotchy, like noise reduction was heavily used. Clients probably won't notice, but the details have been sapped from the image. Even that aside, it is the weakest image in the set, due to the subject distance and slight camera tilt to the left

Bride does look Indian in 14, even without the dot on her forehead.

#15 is pretty darn good, looks fun, best one presented here.


@T Bangerter- Spencer shoots LDS weddings a lot, I'd guess 40-50% of them, at least based on what he posts here.

I think you did a good job considering the circumstances.
I don't like any of the indoor reception shots, mostly because they look
like my shots, and I usually don't like my shots. lol
