different wedding pics I hope

[Fanie]

All girls I have married so far have died. I don't consider it a good idea to try again ....

I have been through that cycle once, hope fate treats me different than you on round number two.....

[elsa hoffmann]

What about two a year, mine is coming up? :-)

now you see what I have to deal with - 
I haven't learned to say NO !   
Fanie - do you seriously think photographers likes shooting other photographer's weddings.... I swear I wont sleep for a month afterwards 

when's the big day?

[elsa hoffmann]

The first shot is lovely, I'm in for keeping the highlights - At the same time love the overall lightness - So a mix of the first and the second PP Please   

I only shoot very few weddings - I love it when the pair is photogenic somehow, easy with smiles and charm,,, then it's pure joy

yup I agree - I think that would be the best - I will re-edit before I do their wedding album /book

I see lately so many wedding togs have adopted the blown out bit kind of thing. They are also moving away from using flash. Can't say I am sorry about that part.

There's that of course Fanie - you know there are much better wedding togs than me - but of course they are not me

Exactly 😊

[Jakov Minić]

Elsa, they are definitely different!
Well done!

[elsa hoffmann]

Exactly 😊

Fanie - the funny thing is - all these weddings I end up doing are almost free or totally free - it's the ones I can never say no to. So much for being a proper wedding tog  - every time I think - oh it's easy - I can do it - maybe I can even charge in future. Then afterwards I remember nicely why I am not a wedding tog

Thanks Jakov sweetheart

oh absolutely right on the blown whites. It's apparently fashion now. For me - all done in post as all the detail is there in the white in RAW.
I am open to opinions on this - do you prefer the attached version better?

I like this one better

so...
Why are the other girls looking under the hood  ?

haha not looking  - helping her to get dressed and get her petticoat sorted and laced up at the back

[Peter Connan]

Having now seen the alternative, I can't understand the blown-highlights thing. The detailed version is so much more beautiful.

[elsa hoffmann]

thanks Peter

herewith the revised version that will go in the book - unless there are more crit about what to change.

[Ron Scubadiver]

That last one is just perfect.  Nice and white, lots of detail.

[Anthony]

I also prefer the last one.

Thanks boys
