p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Gray Whale Cove Engagement Session


Fun session, fun couple. We went out expecting nice sunny warm California weather (which is what we had in San Jose). Got to the beach and it was cold, windy, and cloudy. So much for all the "backlit by the sun" images I was hoping to do. Oh well. I'm just glad I decided to wear long pants instead of shorts!

Full set on the blog.

2. The whole time I'm thinking to myself, "Please don't slip off the rock, please don't slip off the rock"

13. For a change I thought I'd use my 150 macro as a portrait lens. I'm digging it.

some really nice ones including that ring shot.

love the motion in 5

7 had greater potential with a different pose

my only full on negative critique is with the tight portrait of the guy... cropping the chin doesn't work at all for it.

I think there are some great shots in here! I love the soft colours in 4 and 8 in particular.

I like a lot of these but I agree with regards to the chin croppage.

Cool setting captured cooly.

Cool.

I want to shoot there, well done, 5, 7 and 9 are standouts for me. What are they doing in 11, looks like hands and arms everywhere, could have been more with a simple pose.

Thanks for the thoughts! I'll have to check the rest of my images to see if there is any of his portraits where I didnt crop his chin. It was my first time trying these closeups so I'll remember that for next time.

Love them. I feel 11 had potential for a classic pose there.

Great set! At first glance I thought they were in the water on #8 -- when I zoomed in to see what was behind his foot I realized they were on sand.

Looks like they (and you) handled the conditions very well. I like these a lot - they look very natural and un-posed, and I like the processing as well.

@ Brian - He had his hands around her neck while she was holding onto his arm. I think at this point of the session my brain was trying to concentrate on staying warm and not posing. Looking back I wish I had her on the left facing him and him facing her in some fashion so her dress/hair would have blown out towards the ocean.

@ Jeff - Out of curiosity what would have done differently? Though that could be a hard question without knowing what else is in that area.

7 ftw but the log at the front kills it a bit for me, Im drawn to it and it makes the shot more claustrophobic than it needs to be.

Like #8 too.
