The high in Cedar Rapids, Iowa the day before the wedding was 24 degrees. (That's Fahrenheit. Brrrrrrr.) And these two were still up for everything!

(Thanks Mary Beth! Iowa was awesome!)



As always, a few more on the blog. Please leave some love if the mood strikes. Thanks!

i like the first one, nice images Paige

Paige,

Nice Job! I really like the grab in the bandstand picture. 24? Come on Paige, it has been colder than that here in Colorado.

Great work Paige as always. Yeah I got an engagement session today in Denver and then we are doing night shots. It has been so cold lately. Have a great New Year.

Good stuff Paige! I love shots in the cold...I think it is the desire of the subjects to be warm that makes their expressions so great. I would love your collage layout templates.

sweet pics! looks just like my home town!

Holy crap! Paige these freaking rock. Seriously awesome stuff.

#1 Love the mood of this shot he is a bit serious she has the smirk going on. Nice stuff. Love the toning and the feel of everything in this shot. Amazing! Their clothes rock.

#2 Again love the shot The feet in the air everyting is great. I like the slight tilt you have. The only thing I would do Personally and this is a small nit pik and a my opinion. But I would clone out the lion statue in the bottom left of the frame it grabbed my attention when I first looked at the photo. But again I love this shot... seriously.

#3 The framing in this shot is really nice. Love the wall behind them seems to fit their clothes perfectly. The posing is awesome. Nice friggin stuff.

#4 This is my least favorite of the serious because of the angle. All the other shots couldn't have been shoot at a more perfect angle... I just feel like if you pulled this one up a bit more on their level it would have worked better but again that is my personal view.

#5 Awesome! I can't tell you how much I like her slight lean towards him for the kiss that little detail makes this a 10/10. Your exposures are spot on lovely colors, Paige ya rock.

#6 Really rockin. Love everything about it besides that car... I can't tell if it is driving past or if its parked, if its parked I wish you walked a bit past it so it wasn't in the frame. Everything else is just about perfect though. Really like the fact her hair and jacket are flying around.

Paige... you have out done yourself chica.

awesome pictures. Love the weather, love the outfits. really nice!

Ooooh, what a great session! I love the mood of them!

I love the posing and composition of the first and third images!

Looks like fun! Great work!

Ahmet, Ross, Shawn, Rochelle, Shanna -- Thank you soooo much for your kind words!

Yeah, I know I should be more used to cold weather... I'm just not! I'm gonna have to move from Colorado to somewhere warmer.

Bill -- It's actually the 17-55 at 20 with some special sauce in PS, which I rarely do but I'm digging the slightly T&S look. Gotta play with it more.

Dennis -- It's not actually a template; I build them by hand with some frames and actions. Send me a PM and I'd be happy to walk you through what I do.

Braeden -- Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to really put thoughts together! I'm always impressed by how much time you invest commenting on photo posts. (I'll be keeping your post for those days when I feel like a hack. Don't we all have those?)
