Just to show I am still alive and kicking.
A celebrity wedding is the most stressful thing ever. But I survived
just a couple of images before you get too bored.
-
Lovely Elsa!
-
First one is a great photo in any respect.
The other two look like they were taken on a film set.
Quite another style.
-
Beautiful images Elsa. Now, the last image does make me think, "bright sun" or "arranged marriage." ::)
-
thank you kind people.
I don't know about you guys - but I don't like doing weddings.

Depends on the wedding ;-)
The more formal and show, the less interesting it is.
I am with Frank on these images. the first is exceptional, the rest is a documentary from a move set, and that shows how artificial weddings often are.
cheers

PS: My last wedding was my bride, me and a pj friend who took some snaps before we went to lunch in a little fish restaurant across from the registrar's office. Much more enjoyable than my first wedding ;-)

The first picture is a perfect example of blown out whites.....acres of dots free white.

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?

All girls I have married so far have died. I don't consider it a good idea to try again ....
The first image is really lovely and you have succeeded in capturing just the minimum of detail in the whites to prevent highlights from blowing out. I'm sure it prints nicely.
I noticed the groom wears a selection of native Fynbos flowers as a formal decoration. Nice touch. He does look a bit tense through and probably is reconsidering the immediate future at that point ?

Thanks Bjørn - only Fynbos was used - even in the bride's bouquet.
The sun was rather harsh - he was squinting all the way - and yes - his first marriage at age 45 - he was rather stressed out :) (and so was I)

thank you kind people.
I don't know about you guys - but I don't like doing weddings.
When people ask me I say I do not do weddings.
Some say: but we want you anyway.
Then I say: but I am expensive. And I want freedom of expression.
Only very few still want me. The get something diferent. Something
special.

Exactly
This one was one of my best friends - I had to do it
Anyway - I have to do one wedding a year to remind me why I don't do weddings. And it works.
-
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 :-* :D
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 ;)

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

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

now you see what I have to deal with - ::) ::) ::)
I haven't learned to say NO ! :P :P
Fanie - do you seriously think photographers likes shooting other photographer's weddings.... I swear I wont sleep for a month afterwards ;D ;D
when's the big day?

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 😊

Elsa, they are definitely different!
Well done!
-
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 ;D ;D ;D - 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 :-*

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
-
Having now seen the alternative, I can't understand the blown-highlights thing. The detailed version is so much more beautiful.
-
thanks Peter
herewith the revised version that will go in the book - unless there are more crit about what to change.
-
That last one is just perfect. Nice and white, lots of detail.
-
I also prefer the last one.
-
Thanks boys ;)
-
This is how I see the picture............

Nicely done Almass.
-
That's nice Elsa! I love it for the book
Almass very nice but on another level, advertising or fashion! ;)
-
thanks Erik
yup we all have different interpretations - which is a very good thing. Imagine all our images are out of focus haha (just kidding)
I have always loved a bit of a messy photo - but seldom shoot that way because everything in studio is more clinical - and thats my core work. But I am learning :)
Thank you for taking the time to look and comment.
