Evan Baines Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · Last of the Bridal Portraits... Last bridal portraits in our current studio space. We've had a great run in that location, but for various reasons we're having to move on to something new. Shot number three, I'd been shooting strobe but switched to using just the modeling lights without telling the bride. She didn't realize I was shooting, and lost herself in thoughts of her groom and her wedding while I apparently "fiddled with the camera." This shot is a little more raw, and maybe less "pretty happy bride," but there's not a doubt in my mind that its the best and most authentic photograph in the set. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

MPLS_photog Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #2 · Last of the Bridal Portraits... 3 has it. The rest are sublime. I look forward to a post showing off your new digs, if you choose to show it off that is, I'm sure it'll be rocking and rolling. Nov 18, 2009 at 06:16 AM

jeremy_clay Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #3 · Last of the Bridal Portraits... 3. 5 she seems too...strong? looking. Less feminine then the rest. Nov 18, 2009 at 06:26 AM

BKphotography Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #4 · Last of the Bridal Portraits... Not to be different for the sake of it but I like #4 the bestest. Good luck on your new journey brother (you probably won't need it but its nice to be nice) Nov 18, 2009 at 08:55 AM

Lovesong Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #5 · Last of the Bridal Portraits... Brilliant as aways, Evan. I really like 1, and the dramatic lighting in3 makes it. 5 is so-so, and I think it lacks the flow the rest of them have. Nov 18, 2009 at 09:09 AM

patrickphoto Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #6 · Last of the Bridal Portraits... three is rich, but the lines in 4 are quite nice. Nov 18, 2009 at 09:55 AM

Phyl Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #8 · Last of the Bridal Portraits... 1 and 3 are my favorites. Beautiful. Just beautiful. Nov 18, 2009 at 11:37 AM

kim magee Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #10 · Last of the Bridal Portraits... mmmm delicious! lover her expression & pose in 2, the light in 3... Nov 18, 2009 at 01:05 PM

deepbluejh Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #11 · Last of the Bridal Portraits... Evan, it could just be my monitor (30" Dell, calibrated), but the highlights look really harsh in all of these. They are all very nice, but the highlights detract from the elegance a bit. Is there any way to dial these back in post processing a bit? And I'm going to go against the grain here and say that #6 is my favorite. Nov 18, 2009 at 02:13 PM

jcolman Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #12 · Last of the Bridal Portraits... Happy bride is happy. Nov 18, 2009 at 02:15 PM

bryanlindsey Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #13 · Last of the Bridal Portraits... All excellent, especially #3. Nov 18, 2009 at 02:42 PM

Evan Baines Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #14 · Last of the Bridal Portraits... Thanks for the thoughts everyone! Jamie: I'll take another look at the highlights. All of them retain detail, but by definition white-on-white forces me to tiptoe up to the upper registers. These were quick edits for a client that needs a rush turnaround to proof and decide on a print (which will get more love) and I may massage some more before they reach the blog. Good critique.

Sarah Salyer Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #15 · Last of the Bridal Portraits... Hey Evan! I haven't talked to you much recently, hope things are going well. This set is exactly what I love and why you are my photo hero! I get so excited every time I see a new bridal set from you. 2,4, and 6 are my faves. 2 and 6 are faves due to the perfect lighting that I am so jealous of and 4 for her posing which is so elegant. My only teeny tiny nit pick is with #5, I don't love her expression and there is something bright green coming from behind her right at her left hip. No idea what it could be.

Evan Baines Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #16 · Last of the Bridal Portraits... Thanks Sarah! Good catch on 5. Again, the result of rushing to the proofing stage, and will be corrected if she selects that image as a print.... Incidentally, the bride opted for #1. Nov 19, 2009 at 03:01 AM

Tom Cannon Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #17 · Last of the Bridal Portraits... 4 gets my vote! Nov 20, 2009 at 12:00 AM

maxwell1295 Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #19 · Last of the Bridal Portraits... 2 is my pick....lovely pose and expression. I also like 6 a lot. It reminds me of one you did earlier this year that was very similar....maybe that's why I like it. If I had to guess which she'd choose, it would be either 1 or 2. Nov 20, 2009 at 12:38 AM

JakeB. Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #20 · Last of the Bridal Portraits... Beautiful, beautiful portraits... I love #4 the best Nov 20, 2009 at 09:37 PM
