i am sure this does not go into the official wedding selection,
but it´s one of my favorites, so i had to post it.
For some reason Lightroom 5 is exporting noisy files... The full res doesn't look nearly this noisy! Apparently it is a known issue that Adobe plans to fix.
On a brighter note, this wedding was so amazing. The groom started prepping a few months prior and had poured a crazy amount of hours getting everything just perfect! It included fireworks during the ceremony and a light canopy over the reception area.

(or before, since he proposed up on the Ferris wheel actually)
Couldn't imagine what was going on here when they all piled out of a bar & headed en masse up Strand at the Pier Head... lively, animated, many lighting up cigarettes ..... then I spotted the long-limbed beauty dressed all in white with veil (see comment box below), bringing up the rear !!! Aha, a hen-party ...girls' night out ... Danielle is getting married!
But there was more ... crossing over to Albert Dock I ran into an onslaught of "hen parties" charging around the dock's entertainment area, each group with their own customized theme & props. Outfitting everyone must cost a fortune. Does this go on every Saturday night or was June 9th designated 'hen party' night? Curiosity drove me to google. Big business in the UK, I learned .... many websites selling theme packages for 'hen nights', taking care of every detail. Seems there's a lot of young woman about to be married in Liverpool! Young women with money to burn!
I did this shot for Picture Inspiration's coupling assignment. I must say that we had a great time setting this up. We made a makeshift veil/bow for the bride and a tie for the groom. The groomsmen and bridesmaids were the best part. Some are tall and skinny and some are short and stout, and some are a little more ornate. So true to life. What would we do without this couple in our lives. We sure would have a hard time eating ice cream and potatoes without the fork and the spoon not to mention many of my other favorite foods. They just go together and make our lives so much better. They make a great couple too don't you think? ;)
Lighting: One CL-600 in a 120cm Jinbei BD w/ diffusion. I'm standing in front of the light.
First off... I like creating tension. The tension created by the man looking out of the frame and not being on the same plane as the main subject appeals to me.
This couple contacts me and says that they're getting married in December. They want to know if I'll do a couple's shoot. I decline... not really my thing. They are very persistent though and tell me how much they admire my photography. I finally tell them to come in for individual quick sessions. At the end of their individual sessions I told them we would "try" a few shots of the couple but stated very clearly that they shouldn't expect anything.
I thought about it for a couple of days. How can I make this different? I don't want them to be holding hands or gazing into each other's eyes... let the other photogs do that mess.
I had this idea to integrate my close-up headshot style into their shoot. I told Jeevan to stand in the back and look out of frame. I got Vinnie to do her thing with the camera. I even told them that Jeevan would be out of focus. They were all for it.
We took a few frames and when they looked at them they were floored. They enjoyed just how different it was. They stated that in India (where they'll wed) they will have to do silly stuff... like holding hands and gazing into each other's eyes. They ended up extremely happy.
Ah, look at the details in this dress!! Normally I would use a lot more brightness in my pictures, but I wanted to you see the stunning pattern in lace in more detail. Are you just a big of a fan as I? Hit it in the comments!
Hi everyone! This is me on my new account! If you like my work follow me and let me know what you do!
On this brand new account, I will post pictures of my photoshoots - mainly loveshoots, family shoots, wedding and other (groups of friends etc.) and also nature shots.
If you want, you can still look at my old account, where it all began a few years ago: www.flickr.com/photos/mirjamvanklaarbergen/. But I will not be posting anything on my old account anymore. It's not been in use for the last two years, so the pictures on that account are not very recent. I will do a few reposts as well, so don't worry, you won't miss anything good!
As you can see, I can use a few friends on my new account, so add me!
