p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Lovely sunset engagement in Blue Ridge Mountains (16 images)


I recently had a chance to shoot a dual location mountain engagement (rare here in the Southeast) with a couple who was into anything I wanted to try. They were a great couple and it turned out to be my favorite engagement so far this year.

It was also a chance to try out my new Sigma 20mm f1.4, which is amazing. Though I wish I had focus calibrated it before this shoot, I just ran out of time. It is much more accurate after calibration.

Thanks for sharing! Just wanted to say that I love some of those into-the-sun shots in the later half of the set (maybe adding numbers might be good!) and the wide angle environmental portraits (second last one).

Some of these would really go to the next level with some OCF. I feel like I'm always battling there area of highest contrast to find the couples faces. In #3 especially since there's such a high contrast area to the (camera) left of the couple it really draws focus away from them. #5 isn't the best perspective here. Maybe get lower to have them in the sky with the horizon below them and the structure still above them would frame them awesome, +/- the pews as you could get rid of them with a longer FL. If you choose the spot you did I think the symmetry has to be dead on.

Those are my two picky "gripes." Your color tones are fantastic. I'm sure the couple will love them.

Hmmm... Even your logo looks blurred.
Ok, maybe thatīs your unique sales point: "I shoot out of focus" ;-)

Thank you everyone for your comments! and Chrisfphotog, I definitely should have brought out the lights. I have been toying with bringing an assistant on these mountain shoots to make it easier
