Well my soon-to-be Aunt wanted some shots of her for the newspaper, but my uncle wouldn't get in the shots with her...camera shy I guess? Anyways for the fact I couldn't get him in...how do these portraits look?

I know he can be a party pooper when it comes to pictures! But thanks guys!

I know it's too late now, but one thing that may have worked would've been if they were hugging and you could see her front and his back... I had to do that once with "mr sqinty"... there was a lot of sun and a lot of snow to reflect it, no matter where we stood, (we were in the shade) and he could not open his eyes... so I took several of his profile and the back of him, incorporting his fiancé into the shots forward-facing.

I like your photos, but not really appropriate for an engagement listing in the paper. I think people may think she is a little "full of herself"... not that I think she is, since I know the story behind it, but not everyone will know the story too.

Heather I think your focus and composition looks pretty good overall but personally I am seeing a very strong blue and/or green cast in all of the images.

I noticed the color cast as well.

I noticed it too but I couldn't get it to go away, it was either too warm or this.
Heather Garland
Is the color cast fixed now?
Brandi Thompson
Heather I think they look much improved. 10 of 47 still looks pretty green but it seems like she was standing under a tree, so I don't know if it's easily fixable. Good job.

Yah I kept trying on that one, but it went either too magenta or too green, this was the in between.

By the way thanks for the help, I was so confused why those photos looked weird to me, but I had never played with WB before...I know terrible, still a lot to learn. Now I can pinpoint a lot of problems with my photos. THANKS!!

Who knows? It makes me kind of glad I am not the wedding photographer and I am just in the wedding. HAHA! Because I know he won't smile. It will prob have to be all Candids.
