Bridal Photoshoot : New Hampshire, USA

[jayhan]

Well lads... just to share the stuff which I've taken the last couple of days. Shot so much I'm kinda in a deep hole (waist deep if not neck deep!) trying to post process them! :P

Anyway, here's the couple - Eugene Takeshi & Jun Sartin. Lovely pair :) The bride literally did her own make ups all by herself! Pretty neat and a simple bridal photoshoot outing which took me into a 2-3miles of hiking.

ok.. a continuation... into the woods of The Flume. Some kinda forest reserve park with a really cool waterfall/caves area (which happens to be a lil too dark for natural light shooting)

7. Peek-a-boo! (I know theres a small white dot on the groom's vest :P just kinda lazy to remove it in PP)

Nice!! :thumbs_up: Liking this. Love the close up and the forest shoot. Actually, I'm a sucker for close up. But yours is great! :thumbs_up: :thumbs_up:

[mamakap]

wow.. nice... ah.. New Hampshire my kind of place...

[hanuman]

Love the series, but I think #4 and #6 should be pp to match the rest to keep the series tighter as a collection. Just my 2 cents. Composition and the way you capture the mood is perfect. You got a natural eye for this. Looking forward to more if you will indulge. Thanks for sharing.

i dont know why but no 1 and 3 she looks like auntie,no 5,7 and 9 are the best for me.:cool:

[blur]

Lovely set, jayhan! I love the compositions and colours for all :)

Just a nit-pick, her hand in #1. I'm not sure if it was the mirror that's dirty coz I see some blotches. Would be nicer if you could "clean" the blotches up, I think.

Thank you. Did took me some time to get the close up shots since I dont have any macro lens.

wow.. nice... ah.. New Hampshire my kind of place...

Oh yeah. NH is a lovely place. Rated as the safest state in America. :)
And the whole state is tax free (products) as well... thats double smileys :)

Thanks hanu for the compliments. Had to frame things differently as the couple requested for an album to be printed for them. So, gotta have diff settings and framings for the various lay-outs which, to be honest, I havent even plan out yet :P

LOL. I think, seriously, any girl who puts on heavy make up will somehow, look auntie-ish :P. Thanks for appreciating the rest though.

Yeah blur... it was the mirror which was dirty. She did try to brush the dirt off, but it was kinda stubborn. And since time was of real shortage... we didnt really bother about it then, esp. when she is OK with it. :)

[ckii96]

Love the series, but the skin tone in #7-#9 is just too yellowish to my liking.

[cheefai7]

No. 10 the best, loving the nature's kinda frame. The trees really blended well with the silhouettes of the couple.

thanks buddy. and yes, NH is tax heaven :P. probly meant for retirement over here in US.

i prefer to call it "golden glow". hey, after all, american chics arent like local gals who just wanna be always snowy fair... chics here want to be tanned! :P
i think the bride's makeup contrinbutes to the color as well, and she is just blown away with the color of her skin. :P so... I aint complainin' hehe

yeah man... this one shot was a coincidence. we were trekking along this path and the place this shot was taken is actually an look out point. seeing the branches and the clearing it gives instantly gave me the idea of a silhouette shot. so bingo here it is! :D glad u like it

Its a pity there aren't any nice cloud formations for pictures #4 and #6

nice.

For me, personally i think it is good to emphasize the subject matter (ie the couple). tht is to make it larger.

If this is the only few tht make out the whole shooting then it is good, but i think there s still too much passive space on the 4/10 of the top part of the photo.

[Mavik]

I like the graduated tint of the recent photo especially of the nice blue sky. :)

[jayhan]

Works of a post processing Mavik bro... its all done in Photoshop, and I aint hiding the truth bout it. :P Thanks for appreciating though.
