New Bridals

Thanks for the feedback guys.  Lauren that first pose you posted is my favorite too.  But funny enough I don't love the second image.  I like the pose but don't feel I have mastered it.  The image just isn't perfect technically and so I debated about putting it up.  I am glad I did then.

I do get asked for specific poses, but usually at the photoshoot, so if someone said "I want pose 47" I wouldn't know what they were talking about.  But they usually describe it like this "I saw one on your website where a girl was laying in the grass" or "Can we do the laying down pose on the dress with the rose petals scattered around?".
That first one in that location (with the river behind it) is the most requested.

I guess it hasn't been a problem because we do a consultation and we pull up the website to look at locations and sometimes brides will point out what they like. 

I honestly get a little nervous about re-creating poses because I worry they won't turn out as well as the original, I shoot on location so the light is always different, the dress is different and the bride is different.

could you not put in a strategic place "and your photo might be featured on my web site!!!"

A perk, not only did she get Charles Bernard Photography to shoot her wedding, one of her photos made the second page of their gallery!!  *shifty glance*

Yeah, and I think that looks weirder, like she is leaning against a wall, rather than lying down.  I like the upside down thing, and I am doing better with it.  Some people look puffy in the face when they lay down and I have to think in different angles when planning lighting.  This one was actually quite dark it was our last pose in the park and I had to bump up the ISO so it's a bit grainy.  You can't tell from the small image on the website.  I also don't love the lighting on her face... 

Yay for honesty!

Splits:  Yeah, I know, but that pose on that bridge is popular around here.  What can you do?

The picture you are saying isn't my style isn't too old, about a year and a half ago.  Funny you say I have a style.  I was talking to Travis one day and I said "I don't have a style".  I definitely am turned off by classic (old fashioned looking) stuff.  I am not a lace and doily person at all.  But I don't feel like I have a style and honestly half the pictures on my website are taken by my husband, but I can't tell who took what, unless I look at the exif data, because I prefer one camera over another, but even then I can't remember.  Weird huh?  But anyway, do you think I should lose the picture?

Blurry picture - I'll take it off, it's not blurry, it's high ISO, I don't think the noise compressed well, or something...



Wow thanks!  I would if I knew how to market it.  I wonder if that sort of photography pays well.  I don't have the actual equipment to do it for real though.
