Maybe things are different in Austrailia, but I can't help but laugh when I see a dude with his shirt off. Looks like a cheesy romance novel. Probably not your fault because it was probably his idea.
lets be real.. if some of us looked like him - it'd be my idea to take my shirt off too ! - I like the monochromatic pp ... I think old skool western !
Actually they did ask for it after seeing the below shot of Aaron and Rebecca on my blog. That shot was Rebecca's idea and she had to coax him into it while i went looking for the chain.
If i had thought it wasn't a good idea though i would have talked them out of it. Lets face it, we live in a time when photographers are dropping brides into oceans for a photo so this is far from over the top.
