p.1 #1 · Jen and Ben: Engaged


Hi all,
I had my tallest couple to date. Specifically, the bride. Jen is about 6'1" and I am 5'11". I tried to shoot from a perspective so that I am still looking down slightly on her. Let me know what your thoughts are on these.

Matt, wow, love them all! (non pun intended about the 1st one, lol). The only one that isn't as great is the last, their expressions are a little uncomfortable, and the lighting on his face (camera right side) is odd. I'm sure they will love them!

Not a huge fan of the overexposures, but we are dealt with what the Lord gives us concerning weather. Otherwise, very nice. =o)

Matt..... good outting from another of our Southern Arizona friends. (can you call Phoenix southern arizona? more central - we we don't want to leave you out) - very cool set. I really dig 7 - tho it'd be nice to highlight her ring a bit more even.

I'll let you know when the Tucson boys put together some sorta shoot - we'll invite you down for some fun in the old pueblo !

I agree with the comment on overexposure. I'd love to see some more contrast here.


Is everyone stealing our LOVE statue Makes me sad for Philadelphia

I'm agreeing more with the overexposure comments. They're a bit over the top. Also agree with the comment made about the harsh lighting and expressions on the last photograph.

Thanks, all!

I do tend to get the overexposed comment on a majority of my posts. I am starting to think that is how I enjoy shooting.

I have a question regarding that then. Isn't the skin exposed correctly in all of these? (maybe I am pushing it on #4)

Would you care to say which ones have the flare? I am not sure which ones you are referring to?

The first shot and the last shot are the weakest, compositionally and expressively. It's just an odd crop on the "Love" image.

Numbers 2 and 3 would be great with a little more contrast and a little lower on the exposure.

+1...I am all for funky perspective and strange crops...but you cut that one at an awkward spot.

THanks for the feedback on those two, Melanie and Brown_dog.

How do these two compare?
