Stacey Bridal

A couple from a recent shoot I just started working on.

A very attractive bride, but the fountain distracts in the first image. The fountain spray draws the viewer into the background and away from the bride. The pose might work in a different setting. Here, there is too much going on in the background.

In the second, she is about the same size as the bush. The pose is inactive does not tell a story. The lines lead away from the bride.

Thanks Alton.

Great points made above. In the first one, aside from what was already mentioned... did you pose her like that? It looks more like she was about to grab her dress and start walking and you happened to catch her mid action. Something about the shape/position of her arms. I'm bad with words. lol Would like to see more from the set as you work on them because this looks like a beautiful location. The coloring/exposures are fine so I'm sure you got some other real nice images.

Was she afraid to look into the camera? :)

No, you got me. She was moving between poses and I thought it looked useable so I took it.
I didn't get to work on any of them tonight. Had my son. Fun times with the boy - rode bicycles then drove around in the 1931 Model A Coupe Hot Rod. Sort of felt guilty for not working on my images though.
I do have several I will be adding. But I am weak at posing. Something I hope to get some help on here. :)

hahaha... no, I just happened to grap two where she was looking away. She has beautiful eyes. If I didn't have to be up at 5:30, I would go ahead and edit one of those...... They are coming though.

Here are a few more...

ohh i like that last one.... im not on my good monitor so i wont comment on exposure or color or anything... but next to last... the very edge of her veil is coming across her face at an odd spot. that sort of look through the veil is hard to nail down. i dont think ive gotten a great shot of it yet. just keep practicing. and in the first of your new set.... i might try to crop the first one just a bit more... she's quite centered in the photo...and it's cutting off her right arm in an odd spot.
