Wow!!!

The one next to the tree with her dropping the flowers..........HOW did you make it look so...... Amazing??

The photo of the girls walking at the hotel and the edited stairs shot caught my eye.  Awesome job, Jo!

Which ones are your favorites?

And just think. . . .years from now, these marriages that you capture will hopefully will have an even deeper meaningful love.  Did you ever think of doing a post w/photos of "old love", elderly couples?   Love grows and grows through the years . .in such a beautiful way.  The pictures here have the promise of a life begun.

Joanna, all the photos are lovely, any bride would be thrilled to have them.  The very first one was my favorite.  My very close 2nd fav. was the one w/the three little girls.  Are they sisters?

@chambray7 - Thank you!  I did not use my old camera with this wedding.  I did use an overlay on the picture with his hands on her back. The overlay was taken from a camera that is 100 yrs. old.

@ialsolovechocolate - Kimmi!  Steve and I both love the staircase shots.  But my favorite was the second shot where she is smiling.

You are very creative and talented.  Love them/

@coolmomofeight - I have never bought textures most of them are taken from old cameras, or have been painted by me and the kids, or from things around the house and collections of stock photos.

I can't see buying them even someone did not want to make their own there are so many free ones out there. The flower was from one of the free sites.

@Kevnrae - I usually shoot wide open b/w 1.4 and 2.8, ISO 200 but it always depends on the day and what the light is doing.  I do not walk into a shoot thinking F.stop and shutter speed, I do shoot full manual but I visualize the shot first, set it up in my mind and then work with the camera to make it translate on to "film".  The glow is partly because of the wide open aperature and also post process using the blur filter and some of the other tools that Photo Shop provides.
