Well, I'm back everyone! I had a wonderful wedding and am excited to show you the results! I want to thank everyone for posting your tips on my last post leading up to this wedding. I have to say that everything you warned me about pretty much came to life during this session. I didn't have much time to go through these, but I was able to pick out a few of my favorites. I would also like to thank the wonderful Tim Co. for being the best assistant ever! Couldn't have done it without him! I'm sure he will have some wonderful stuff to post here soon!

And for the photographs:















Some reception details...







Dom Perignon anyone??







Hope you enjoyed!

Beautiful images - how did you do the 5th one?

Do you mean in PP or just the shot itself?

Great job!

beautiful photos! I love the post processing on number 5!

Thanks for the comments! I was trying to go with an old photo look. Does anyone think that the black border takes away from my effort on the sloppys? As you see on #7 I left it without one. What do you think?

JK

Josiah great job!!!

Your new website is great also

Karen

you know what, now that I look closer, I think I like 7 better and I think it's what you said, it's the old photo look, and i think I like it without the black boarder. Plus, I LOVE the composition of number 7. The WHOLE feel of the photo (the moment it seemed to capture, the comp, the PP) all work together to give it that old photo feel.

#7 is my favorite also!! Thanks!

JK

i'd been waiting to see how these turned out, simply awesome! how cold was it over there?

It ranged anywhere from 8-40 degrees! This wedding is proof that one adrenaline kicks in, you can pretty much do anything. I wore a button shirt with a scarf the entire time, and I can't even rememeber being cold. How odd is that?! Thanks!

Great job Josiah- 4 and 10 are my favs- (way to catch the moment on # 10!)

Thanks to all for your comments!!

Great work, JK. I love the back light on the third one.. I've always been a fan of that glowing halo look in outdoor shots.

In PS.

Did you switch them? #7 is the one I meant.

It looks like a sloppy knockout from Parker J. Basically, the action puts a sloppy border over the image that covers the entire image then inverts the black border to be white. On the inside of the border it lowers the opacity so it doesn't take out all the detail, just some.

Nice work on these Josiah, I like #4, the bride looks like she is having a really good time. Who let Timco in?

That's just what I did. I don't know which border it is, but they are all fun to work with.

Tim Co. pretty much invited himself...lol! Nooo. He was greatly needed that day! Thanks for your comments everyone!

Looks like in a fairytale!!

That's the feel I was going for. I felt like the borders and colors worked together to get that look, you know?? How can I mess that up with such great subjects and a wonderful location!

Thanks for your comments!

JK

whoa those are lovely. Man i wish i was there for the wedding . I NEVER SEEN SHOW. lol I am from Miami. Number 10 I love that photo.

Very very nice!

There is nothing wrong with good ol' snow for wedding pictures... well as long as it's snowy and not very cold!

Congratulations, they are all wonderful. Wow, that looks like so much being out in the snow!

Thanks so much! It was a wonderful wedding. The snow in Colorado is wonderful. Somedays, you can get away with wearing short sleeves!




So true!





Thank you so much! Like I said, you can't beat a good location!

JK

josiah!
hope you had a great time shooting in CO! there certainly is plenty of snow here these days...

i absolutely love the shot of the two of them at the table...great great moment!

you are full of talent - congrats on an awesome shoot!

Hey Josiah, great images! They all look amazing. Where can you get those sloppy borders you are using?

wow that was a rush.

up down up down up down

josiah u still feeling the altitude sickness LOL?

it was so great working with u and no i do not have any images to share because I totally suck compared to this child prodigy lol! we'll do it again sometime for sure!

I love them ALL, but this one is so cool! Wonderful work.

Thanks! I loved every minute of Colorado! That shot was during that toasts and they bride and groom could hardly stop crying!




That border is actually my border. The cool thing about parker j's actions is that you can insert your own textures and borders into the actions and custom them to yourself.

As far as purchasing them, that's another thing. I will presonal message you about it.




I'm telling ya! I don't think I want to fly for a long long while! I enjoyed working with you also and I can't wait to catch up with you again!




That's my favorite also! Thanks!

#7 & #11 (Dom Perignon) caught my eye. I think the first few images are too tilted though to be honest. I am not fan of the tilted camera though..so grain of salt, please. What is the back story on this wedding? It seems that everyone knows, but me! I was in Fort Collins Colorado for the holidays--just in time for both snow storms. The state just basically shut down--crazy! Wish I had been up in ski country instead of the Front Range--although sadly, the mountains didn't get the snow as much.

Anyway--#7 is quite amazing (even with the tilt, although I have to say it would have been just as amazing without the tilt--JUST SAY NO TO TILTS!!! IT WILL ULTIMATELY DATE YOUR WORK!!).

Geneve

Hey Geneve!!

I personally love to tilt my camera. I don't let it consume my work, but I just like it. I'm sure, though; I will have something else that comes along that I do a lot. Sadly, we fall into habits. Thankfully, I like this habit!! Thanks for the pointer!

I posted a while back in preparation of this wedding for some pointers for shooting in the snow. I had never done it, and wanted to be prepared! That's the back story.
