p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Wedding in Gent (Belgium)


The last time i posted here some photo's i was considering to go as a pro. This is my second year, so i though to share some photo's from one of my latest weddings in September in Gent. The dress is made by the bride.
I do not so many weddings, this year only 7. Because i have another Job and 4 little children. It's the first time i used a preset from Mastin Labs for my client. Normally I use A VSCO preset N-400H. But the couple asked for photos with less contrast, so i picked the Mastin Pro400H. The B/W's are with VSCO N-HP5. It was a little tricky to manage the WB with the Mastin Lab preset. (My gear: 2 D750, 1D600, 24mm f1.4, 35mm f1.4, 58mm f1.4, 85mm f1.4, 200mm f2.0 and some Godox flashes with the Magmod system)
Feel free to give some CC.
Please post some more wedding photo's from this year, it's just a joy to see all of your work.

The shots overall are really nice.
The processing is not as consistent as I would like. The WB varies throughout the set more than it should IMO.
The BW processing also varies some throughout. I would pick a look and stick with that or else it just ends up looking like you were playing around to much.
Really my only complaints.
The dudes silk paisley getup at the end is perhaps one of the most badass things I have ever seen.
Where does one purchase such an outfit?

Is that the 58 with the wicked green background fringe? It's right up there with the 50L's purple subject fringe. Wondering if it's still there at ƒ2 ?

Really nice photos. The one of them walking holding hands and looking at each other is my favorite. It's obvious that the bride wanted a natural look but still I would consider getting rid of some of the more obvious acne blemishes, especially the one on her chest.

Thanks for the comments. I try to not varies much on my processing, but i find it very difficult. But I am aware of it. Maybe i need to follow some course on that topic. I am always struggling with color. I have one eye that's lazy. So I can see very bad with one eye. My other eye is better but i need glasses. The last years i came to the conclusion that i see colors differently to my eye's separately. I see more red tones with my good eye and more bluish with my right eye :-(.
I agree with the acne blemishes on her Back. Maybe i need do some more retouch. On some photo's i removed some of them! But not all, i wanted indeed a natural look. It think it's also a little cultural difference in approach of beauty ideal. Flemish vs American. A portrait with a big smile and white teethes and a lot of mascara and makeup i see as a typical American beauty ideal. But your right to much acne is not beautiful at all. Thanks for the advise, very precious to me.

Lee, it's indeed the 58mm with the wicked green! But it don't bother me. Green leafs with a green border is not distracting me. The CA is only at f1.4 and maybe f1.6. On f2 it's almost totally gone. But i like the great Bokeh of the 58mm at f1.4 just magical.

Great shots!

As someone else mentioned, my attention did go a few times to the acne on the bride but those are quick fixes.

Also, this is just personal opinion but for the last 1.5years I have tried working with Mast Labs presets specifically their Kodak ones. I have two really good friends who are professional video editors (they are color grading masters). They have finally convinced me to give up on Mastin presets and actually presets in general due to how much color contamination it adds to the images, especially in the shadows. Just food for thought.

I like your work very much! Some things have already been mentioned, I agree with.

One thing, though. I might be a little old-school but to my non-professional eye it looks rather off-putting to see the groom's hands on the bride's butt. IMHO hands should go on her waist or hips.

Thanks Swicheroo for the nice comment. Funny you noticed the groom's hands on the bride's butt. It was not staged by me. :-) Mostly I have one great rule. Have fun and enjoy each other.
