p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Jackson Hole Wedding with FM's own Keith Lee


What's up FM land?!
Jackie and I "2nd" shot this with Keith and Ali Lee a few months ago in Jackson Hole, WY.
We smoked the weekend. Good looking people, good looking location...easy pickings.
You can check out Keith's set here
http://www.keithleestudios.com/blog/engagements-couples/erin-michael-jackson-hole-golf-and-tennis-club/
Some of the portraits are his poses...

Since Keith did mostly color we decided to go all BW once again. Perfect wedding for it.
Critiques, comments, etc. are always welcomed.
I am starting to go full steam ahead with the BW stuff and show exactly what we want to be shooting...hopefully it pays off and brings in clients who want that type of things. We are definitely drastically different that 99% of shooters in our market out here in CO. Guess that could be a very good thing and a bad thing. Opinions on this would be great!

If anyone wants to know what I shot and what Jackie shot just let me know. Rehearsal then wedding.

so good. not sure if you have recently tweaked your B&W preset, but it looks even better to me. On average, how much tweaking do you think you do to get it looking how you like it after you have exposure adjusted and the preset applied?

Not much. I tweak a bit but most get applied and are done. Blog stuff obviously a touch more after you go over it 10 times picking but normal proofs it's apply and done.

I really enjoy how B&W images seem bring out the authenticity of the moments. Less distraction when the vibrant colors are taken you. You and Chuck are masters at communicating relationships and interactions between people. I love the candid moments throughout.

That being said, I feel like the posed photos of the couple lack without any color mixed in. I'm sure the Lee's got plenty of that, but it would make for a more impactful photograph.

You mention going full steam ahead with this style and hope to attract couples desiring it. I think we as photographers really appreciate what you have to offer (that's why Chuck had you do his family session), but I don't think the masses will see the beauty of it. As was mentioned in another post, most people just want pretty posed photos.

Thanks Mike!
Ya it's tough trying to figure out what to do. Honestly a lot of the color stuff we do seems overworked a lot. We provide a ton of color but our best stuff is always better in BW. Who knows. I think I would rather be different than just another fish in the sea. Out here in CO it is all color all big landscapes tiny people. After a while it's just like ugh with all that. But I hear ya!

Some nice work Doug/Jackie.

Some seriously nice wedding coverage.

It will be interesting to see how the B&W works in your business model.
I say bring it!

Beautiful set! I agree about the trend of all color, big landscapes tiny people. Focusing more on expressions and relations, love in general, certainly does you good. Back to the basics, BW is so powerful!

Thanks guys!
Mark ... we have been pretty BW heavy for a while. I just feel like showing more will really dial in who wants to hire us. We obviously show people full galleries and explain that they will receive tons of color but personally we like BW better. I am not against color but since starting the editing business I figure it would be a good time to really dial in who we are looking to book. Recently clients have been really great about letting us show our BW stuff off.
75% of our clients are not all that into portraits and would rather have photos of the people interacting so it works out well for us.

I hear ya Doug .....

Me thinks there is still something special about a solid B&W portrait.
I had a recent wedding where my Groom commented on the image i capture of his Dad.
I presented the image in B&W .... this is the Grooms favorite image of the wedding.


portraits + B&W = special

You've got that BW down. Looks like a fantastic wedding... and that location! Some of the color edits are fantastic too, but an entire BW set flows nicely. Moments trump all.

Thanks for helping me tackle this beast of wedding Doug + Jackie! AWESOME JOB. I think between the 3 of us, we shot over 12K images over the course of the weekend and 70% came from Doug + Jackie. It was a great combination of styles, perspectives and gear (Canon, Nikon and Leica). The bride is actually my step-sister-in-law so were there as guests too (which I only put down the camera the last hour or so of the reception :P). Another level of stress (IMO) was that the sister and father of the groom are both professional photographers (sister is a wedding photog and father is a landscape photog) so I felt like we had plenty of cameras to go around.

This was the 4th time shooting with the Treibers and it's always a great day full of laughs, jokes and awesome moments... can't wait for the next wedding guys. *first bump*

Keith
