p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Nicole + Brett wedding in Chicago burbs (added 1 artistic pic)

Shot a nice wedding on Saturday at Cantigny Golf Course in the western suburbs of Chicago. Here's a just a couple pictures from the day. Comments welcome.

1. First Look. As primary, I normally position myself in front of the groom to capture the bride walking up, but for some reason I placed my 2nd shooter there and I was happy I did. Nicole took a few steps toward Brett, stopped and turned around to compose herself, allowing me to capture this shot.

2. A few minutes after their First Look.

4. Brett shared a story with the officiant he apparently wasn't supposed to.

5. And that leads to a teachable moment.

9. Just playing around with the editing. I don't really like her mouth for this shot but wanted to experiment with this editing process.

#6 FTW, but i agree, just warm it up a tad

really nice moments captured in #1, and #4. You might not have shared them in this set, but I would like to see some wider shots like a wider version of #3

Thanks, JR. I did warm it up and cut down the contrast on the flowers in the foreground. I do have other shots to go with 3 that are wider, just providing a pretty short set here.

Here's the new No. 6:

Alan's comment is right on the money - went from beautiful to incredibly beautiful. And I agree, you were fortunate with your first look positioning... love that moment (just wish you would have moved the chair and clutter blocking his legs)!

Thanks, Mitch. That's why I love to post here. The feedback is always really helpful, whether a critique or a suggestion. Agree with you about the clutter.

Nice job on this set Ron!

Warmed up #6 definitely makes that photo that much better.
