caseychappell Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 here is a bridal pose that I shot a few months ago that I just smile when I look at it. The bouquet was just a dozen roses that I had bought from fresh market and wrapped a ribbon around it. At the very end of the shoot we took one last pose and the flowers had been through a lot, having been thrown around and usually carried by me from pose to pose location but I just handed them to her and said just hold these in your lap. Took the pictures and never noticed the shape they were in until I was editing later. Cool huh! a little cheesy but cute. anyway, just thought I'd throw the question out there, things that you never noticed until later or things that just fell into place that you could never have planned. I'd love to see or hear about them.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

photochick Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 by the way, I love the roses in a heart-shape! Did you come up with that? You bought flowers for the bride? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricM Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 the eyes look very dead on your 10:07 p.m. colour shot, Casey. Looks like a bit of ps touch up went into it and feel a seperate lighter layer brushed in for just the eyes and the catch lights, as I see in your b&w version, would benifit this image greatly.

caseychappell Posted August 4, 2006 Author Share Posted August 4, 2006 Thanks for the comment about the eyes. I agree. I'm still a bit overwhelmed with all that goes into editing on the computer. But that's a must do. The eyes are everything! I bought flowers for the bride because she asked me to pick up some for her. she's a friend. Sometimes I feel like the wedding planner, hair, flowers, etc.... good thing I like wedding stuff. the heart just happened! so unplanned!I didn't even realize it was a heart until post processing. great images!

EricM Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 it's dead simple once you've done it Casey. In a nut shell, you make another layer the way you want the eyes amd make sure it is the bottom of the two layers then selct your original layer, the top one, and click on the masking layer icon on the bottom of you layers pallet, then select your brush in the tool pallet, you'll notice in the tool bar opacity and brush size for you to adjust, you'll never use 100% on the edges of where you are masking, and if yougo to far, you can reverse the order of the balck and white boxes in the tool pallet, black on top means the brush will allow the bottom layer through, white on top undoes it.

medina photography cherry Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Here is one where I asked the couple to kiss, the groom kisses the bride on the cheek. Look at her face, Her arm was bent perfectly which connects the two. A lucky shot!<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckry Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Here is one of my favorite non posed shots. I always try to pretend to be distracted while the bride and groom are posing for portraits so they think they have a minute or two to interact. I pretend to be putting a new battery into my cammery then I watch them out of my eye and see what they do. This is my favorite shot from these attempts, I always get something good, but I really love this shot.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kim long- cincinnati, ohio Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 This isn't of the bride or groom, but a candid caught during the wedding ceremony. I dig it for several reasons. First, I love how pious these little acolytes look (I personally don't see that often), and secondly, there is a fan behind one of the boys' heads that looks like a halo to me. This is probably one of those detail/ candid shots that the B&G will never linger on, but I rather fancy it just the same.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cale_glendening Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Well throwing the bouquet is planned but I took this pic and just thought the look on her face was priceless. She told me she didn't even know she made that face but she fell in love with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
