I had such a blast shooting today's wedding!! It was for Amanda and Tim at a private home in the Simi Valley area, right next door to the Regan Library.... seriously, it was the next driveway, and it was AMAZING!!!!

Anyway, check out and let me know what you think!

Wow Tim!! Gorgeous..... just gorgeous!

You did an amazing job. I love that song that played during the slideshow.
I love the shots of the bride crying during the ceremony. I love all of the pictures...

Tim, this wedding was stunning! My favorite shot might be the "side/back" view of the ceremony. Very theatrical!

The images are wondeful Tim! The body language is perfect on the dip shot, possibly the best I have seen. I 'm guessing that you didn't do much post because it is ready so fast but a lot of the images feel too dark. Knowing how great your post work is, I think the darkness hurts the images a little. Even the dip shot is flat and dark, and I trust that you will make that image sing by the time you are done with it.

Thanks for all the great comments guys.

And Frank, thanks for being super honest... yeah, these are just real quick straight out of the camera images... I think 3 from cheryl's camera she adjusted, the rest I took straight away.

I'll post up when I get the images tweaked for you guys to see the final thing.

Frank glad to see your honesty.

Tim,

Do you shoot in AV mode? JUst wondering why your images were on the dark side out of camera?

Nope... no AV for me. I shoot everything manual and underexpose pretty much all of my images on purpose.

For sure Bro! (thanks Charles too) I would hope for the same from you when I go too far, or not far enough.

Can't wait to see them! The dip one would be great for that before/after post that resurfaces every once in awhile.

Yes, but Tiim failed to mention he underexposes on purpose because of his Raw presets...after he uses something like DJ's [b]rilliant settings (just hypothetically speaking of course), the picture will be the perfect color while still maintaining the sky color.

Loved the slideshow!

Love the getting ready shots! And the all the emotion you captured during the ceremony -that's what it's all about I'm sure she cried again when she saw your images! Awesome!

Good stuff man.

Great coverage Tim!! You got a book full of great moments and gorgeous images!!

Jasmine,

Okay I am little confused. What RAW preset are you referring to?

Hi Charles!
DJ sells his Raw Action Presets through the ShowIt store. The one I'm referring to specifically is his action "[b]rilliant". And I'm not sure if they're necessarily called presets if you will...they're just DJ's actions that he applies to his Raw images before converting them to jpeg. I hope this helps!

No - you correctly expose all your images. If you didn't, you would lose the sky and the dress.

The final image is a product of having both the correct in-camera exposure and the correct post-processing (as I have been saying).

(That being said - I wouldn't show unprocessed images - at least batch them through a proofing action.)

A) LOVE that Imogen Heap song
B) Great images

Thanks for sharing, Tim...I always love looking at your stuff!

Nice work Timothy and I loved the ring shot.

Off the hook, wonderful shots.

The emotion... the beauty... the love... all captured in spades.

Nice work, Tim!

Good coverage Tim. Creative as always.

And the underexposed bit has been covered already, so I'm not going to bother commenting on that portion.

awesome job Tim! Looks like it was a fun wedding!!!

i always like your photos
