I had the privilege to shoot this fabulous couple on Friday at several locations in my area (Stockton, CA). Huge props to the folks at the new Sheraton and the owners of Oak Farm Vineyards for letting us do our thing. These two had such an awesome connection and it totally shows. I just tried to let them be themselves and I think it shows. They totally look like something out of J.Crew to me, super rad! It was a drab, overcast sky so I felt a little hampered, but we make do. Anyhow, thanks for taking the time to view and critique this set. You folks rock and I can't wait to hang out with some of you in Berkeley!

Sorry dudes, I'm trying out flickr instead of photobucket. I hope it works.
a great all around set-i'm really diggin' on 5, 7, and 12
shot 5-love the composition-my assumption of this whole set is that it's natural light-beautiful
shot 7-very unique-just enough of the truck to give this a vintage feel-have you tried any textures on this shot? i'd be curious to see some alternate processing on it
shot 12-i think my favorite of the set-amazing clean shot-love the colors and pose of this one-couldn't really ask for a better lighting pattern on them (esp. him)-i really don't care that his toe is chopped off, either-stellar image IMHO
These are really good man. But most importantly, it looks like you were having way too much fun during this session. Now stop playing and get back to work
Scott, my man, these are quite the eye treat! Love your processing, captures are very natural. I need to take some notes from the ambient light shooters, sometimes I think I have a strobe coming out my ear, just gotta use it.
Very natural emotions and all around superb stuff. The only one that made (makes) me stop and wonder what I'm looking at is #8. I'm confused what the whole effect is going on here.
nm, got it, looks like the side mirror. Took a second. I feel like a slowmo.
I LOVE #13, but the black bar on the left bothers me. its such a natural progression of bright light from the right, down to a smooth gradient on the right. That black wall breaks the light transition for me.
Not feeling 5, 8, or 10. While 5 and 10 are strong from an artistic point of view, I don't feel like they match the "mood" than an engagement shoot should have. They seem almost lonely. 8 doesn't work for me at all. With those three out of the way, the rest are very good.
