p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Embracing mid morning sunlight (E Session Atlanta)


I was a bit worried at first, I really tried to get the couple to meet me out at Atlantic station by 8am or earlier but the bride had hair and makeup trials at 8am so we didnt get started until around 10am. I have to say I was quite surprised by the light at that time and really starting embracing the harsh shadows and directional lighting from the buildings. It's been a long time since i've been happy with a set like this and super excited to shoot their wedding in August.


1. First I wanted to start off in the lobby of the hotel they will be getting married at (Twelve @ Atlantic station)

3. For this one we went down to the bottom of the parking deck stair case and I loved the light coming in from the side.

Shawn,

It looks like you nailed the whole set and captured the emotion between them. It took me a moment staring at #1 based on how you blocked the reflection to mentally make sense of the shot.

Shawn, great job handling that mid-day direct sunlight! These are really awesome. I really like the different perspectives you went for.

Only real nit is that on 3, I wish his face was tilted up like hers so we'd see a bit of his face instead of just the top of his bald head. On 10, I'm a silhouette freak so I definitely would have gotten a silhouette there. But also, a touch of light on them would have made this even nicer, I think, as is.

Overall, great job! They must have really loved it!

These are fantastic! As usual :-) My only nitpick is I wish they weren't so serious looking in 6. I don't mind those kind of pics, but this one seems like it'd have been more impactful if they were either looking at each other or perhaps causually smiling and each looking off in a different direction.

I adore your post processing style. Very clean, bold, crisp, and not trendy. Just timeless and really shows off your shooting and processing skills. Any tips ;-)

Thanks everyone! I really loved this set a lot from shooting to editing. It really was a fun shoot.

The shot from above looked awkward with him looking up from his position and and decided to keep that specific shot more intimate and playful like I was peeking in on their moment.

The shot with the building behind them going straight up and serious faces was my attempt at a super artsy shot. I do have shots with them smiling but really liked the more serious ones better.

I love the feedback from everyone, thanks so much!

didn't expect this mush traffic on this set since its probably geared towards the wedding group but man i'm glad people love it. I dont know what it is but there is just something about the time of day, the colors and the architecture along with the very photogenic couple that really brought everything together.
