A couple more from this year

Except for resizing and framing, all of mine are right out of the camera.

I love the first one! ... well done .. and the second... the last one looks like she is stuck to the wall, nice attempt .. not sure I like it tho :)

Stuck to the wall... ha. I like that. We were playing with the veil, just dinking around. I liked the way it becomes leading lines into her. Still working on her album, too. Thanks!

i hate the framing. other than that they look like pretty good shots.

Nice work, I love the first one it is not something you see everyday. The second is elegant and traditional. The third looks like she is laying in sand and the picture is rotated wrong. :) But I do see what your talking about with the lines leading into her... All very nice, thanks for sharing.

I'm curious. Why do you hate the framing?

[Adaptive]

Don't like framing on wedding photos. Most of the times brides and family want to purchase prints and when you get a print with a border on it it looks horrible. Just my opinion from past experiences. I can't see the photos now but if I remember correctly you also had a red pin stripe border on the inside of the black border. Not too fond of that either.

The purpose of borders is to be a digital matte. But when printed, like I said earlier it looks bad. I think if your borders were thinner and less noticeable they'd be better. This is all just my opinion though, everyone does things differently.

Uh... I see your point; the black/red framing is entirely an online thing. I don't PRINT them that way, unless it's in a flush-mount album or for print competition (and then the keyline -- not pin stripe -- and digital mat -- not matte, which means "flat" or "lustreless" -- colors are taken directly from the image itself and are designed to set apart the image rather than frame it). The framing is a branding thing. Generally my images also have my logo on them, as well, unless they're protected by a SimpleViewer xml slideshow or a gallery with an overlay.

Since I'm not going to custom-build and color match a digital mat for every image I post online, I've built an action in PSCS2 to automatically apply the black mat with the red keyline.

As with everything, YMMV. :)

and I prefer smaller borders better, but whatever floats your boat :D
