Quentessa
I was so incredibly impressed before I even pressed the shutter! As it turns out, I hadn’t met the bride before today which is not uncommon, but the attitude and our ability to come together so well was the surprising part! She was quite the character exhibiting a very happy and bubbly attitude about herself as she was like a NY Model!
It’s not often that I have a chance to work with a bride who’s very versed in the world of photography. By this I mean she’s familiar with not just what a pretty picture looks like but also the technics that go along with making that photograph! This NYT bride actually knows about off camera flash and radio triggers! lol What are the odds of that? From this fact alone, I figured this session would be a difficult one, but on the contrary, it helped to make one of the most fun and easy sessions I’ve had in a while!
I posted just a few of my fav’s here so you can see jut how easy Quetessa made this session! I had so much fun in this place that I’ve been so many times! I love the way the lines enhance this photo and the framing of the arch.
I like this set of fun shots. It’s amazing what a bare wall can do for a photograph when used preperly and with the right person in front of it.
Even the passer -bys had fun watching this free spirited bride!
The tones in this set intrigues me to no end. I like the calmness look and feel along with the subtle tones.
A beautiful dress and a simple shot that makes for a great photograph!
The weather was just perfect and the sky was blue! I thought I’d exhibit just what I saw on that day by incorporating more of the sky and an angle that is not so typical.
Now you want to talk about a true model feel? Look at how Quentessa mimics the model in the store window…HOT!
As we walked and began to get towards the end of the session, Quentessa decided to come out of her shoes and this is the result I had when I say the shoes resting atop a brick wall.
It was later in the day and the sky was low. This combination caused the sparkling effect in the fountain.
I definately couldn’t keep from including a scenic shot to show just how photographic this place is. It’s candy for any photographer! Maybe this is why there were three other photographers shooting at the very same time we were photographing!
One of my favorites from this session…
Katrina
We were headed to a familiar location with a bride that that had just recently been introduced to NYT! The day started out perfectly and Katrina was excited and ready to get our session underway.
From the very first image, I knew the day would prove to be successful!
I love shooting at this location since there are so many different things you can do with not much travel.
So how do you get a bride to turn the way you want from about 100 yards away? Sign language! lol
I think we both really enjoyed the scenery here. By this time, the temperature had dropped in the 50′s and it felt like it was in the 40′s but Katrina really wa s agood sport about it all. She never skipped a beat the entire session.
Wow! Look in those eyes and that smile! I love this set of close up images!
Now this set would probably be my favorite of the day. A dramatic sky along with a gorgeous bride make one powerful image. The wedding is just a little over a week away so stay tuned for the next set of images with Katrina!
Jacqueline Bridal
I’m glad that Jacqueline had chosen the location that she did simply because it offers clear views of the sky and the waterfall is gorgeous! I knew it would be a scorcher having to photograph in the late June heat so I made sure to get my fluid intake above normal and for me, that only needs to be one glass of water. I arrived at the location armed and ready to shoot, but I suppose I underestimated the heat that this day would bring! Maybe I should have brought along that second bottle of water with me and another for the road.
