wedding-photography-denver Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Having just spent some time browsing through Stacy N's indian wedding (nice to browse if you have a moment), and upon seeing a certain imag, I remembered this shot I took in July (also on the 9th) this year. I had thought it to be quite a neat shot until my wife and best critic said it was too risque for most people's taste. Your thoughts would be much appreciated, thanks...

david_schilling___chicago_ Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 too risque for most people's taste??? Nah......JMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colleendonovan Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Ooooh! I like it!!! Did the bride and groom love it?? I think I'm going to try this one on an unsuspecting couple in the near future!! I really like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_gillette Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 No, I don't think it's too risque for all uses or too deliver. Maybe not one for the coffee table or a prime place in an internet portfolio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_schilling___chicago_ Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Just one other quick thought. I've posted alot of images on forums and in my website. If I really considered an image to be "risque" it would never be seen on the internet, I want my clients to know that I'll honor their privacy, especially the ones that are willing to push the envelope and border, or cross the border on risque. And, I do have some "juicy stuff" in the files... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beepy Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Hmmm... I would show that to the couple - I suspect they would like it - unless that's not the groom:-) But they may not put it in a wedding album - but might want a print. Nice capture.

melissa_w.___arizona_calif Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 I think its a fantastic shot. The way I see it, the B&G were there and they knew what they were doing with you shooting away. The couple seems like they are having a great time!<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eimages Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 it is risque at all. It looks like a very normal and expected moment between a bride and groom at the end of the evening. Really nice shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lb- Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 niether of the above shots are at all offensive. it's not like you posed them in some compromising position, it's what they were doing naturally. I'm not going to post any lurid or explicit photos on this forum but if you could see some of the stuff I've shot! I've had a few brides request some interesting photos for the grooms eyes only. weddings make people go crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_levine Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Risque? Perhaps down South in the "Bible Belt" or in Utah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarolinael Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 These shots are far from risque, even for the South in which I live and do Wedding Photography, nice captures on both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_sokal___dallas__tx Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 They are married right? Not risque at all. And Steve, you need to spend more time down South in the "Bible belt," or maybe just check out "Girls of the SEC" next time Playboy does that portfolio :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandra_henderson Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 It'd be to risque if they were both in the nude :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russ_butner___portland__or Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 It's fine. I'd definitely allow the couple to see it. They'll probably really like it. Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James G. Dainis Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 I stared at that photo last night for at least five minutes trying to find the risque thing. It looked to me just like the bride and groom kissing holding their hands up. Was that it, bondage symbolism or maybe the object on the upper right suggested a phallic symbol? I sure couldn't get it. Maybe the bottom of the bride's dress up? I guess I don't have a dirty mind (although my wife would differ) but could someone point out the risque in it? James G.

lukedavis Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 I'm not a wedding photographer, so take my comments with an uniodized and massive grain of salt. I do believe that while it's a socially liminal photograph, its importance an any wedding album is enforced by that fact that it looks quite candid and natural and that it (when partnered with other more formal and traditional images) reveals the more 'fun' and 'true' side of the wedding. Furthermore, because the shot just implies naughtiness and that 'other' side of the wedding but does not explicitly convey it, I think that it is thus welcome in most albums.

wedding-photography-denver Posted October 1, 2005 Author Share Posted October 1, 2005 James, I am with you. I thought it was fine until my wife mentioned it might come off as a little too risque. I generally agree with her perspective on shots, but I admit this one left me feeling I might be missing something.... YMMV. Thanks again everyone for your input.
