A few from an upcoming wedding location
Apr 12, 2015 14:02:58 #
Went out yesterday and snapped a few from an upcoming wedding venue. Got there early to grab some early morning light.
As usual, I sent off to B&G and they loved them ......
1. Before the sun came up, heck, you can even make out a few stars. If I was to do it all over again I would of gotten more MP in camera, had to cropped about 60% of the picture away, not good for making a great clear picture but it was still a nice shot. I can see some PP issues around the edges, dang, don't give up the MP's ....
2. Taken before sunrise, early dawn, close up of entrance to the reception area. Used a enough DOF to keep it all in focus.
3. A general over view of the part of the winery used for weddings, taken before sunrise.
I give my 2 cents worth on others snaps so feel free to critique .......

As I do not shoot weddings often it took me a minute to translate B&G to Bride and Groom.
And, having not visited the California Wine Partners I like #1, but wonder if it would have been better if you had shot it straight on as in this example: http://vantagewines.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/vantage_wine_estates_front01.jpg It's not that the shot is bad, but rather that the leading lines steer me to the left into nothingness.
I like the idea of #2, but would ask that you frame out a little completing the structure on the left and not cropping the fountain on the right.
#3 is interesting, but I think the foreground steals from the rest of the shot and has no added purpose here.
In all, it's a great start, but I am curious where you plan to place the wedding party in all of this.
Thank you for sharing and have an amazing shoot! S-

It's easy to sit back and critique another's work, but unless you're there it's hard to know the right call. This is your area and I leave it to your expertise. Thank you again for sharing and have fun! S-

Loc: Ozark,Mo.
I really like the first one it would be a great addition to a album. As you pointed out it needs some photoshop work or if you are just trying to capture one of these sunrise night shots alittle more time and patience will give you a better all around exposure, but that is depending on were the sun rises.
And the only thing I see wrong with the second one is the sky has a paper cut out look to it, but besides that this one is another excellent addition to a album. With out having any emotional involvement to this venue the third doesn't have much meaning for me. All and all I think this is a great idea of something to send to clients before the wedding day.

Thanks Greg for your 2 cents worth 8-)
Yes, if I had waited about 5 more minutes on #1 it would of helped, I pushed it and thus a bit more noise when I brought up the exposure which was off a tad because of the low light, good call.
On #2 I could see how the3 paper cut thing comes up. It's clean, almost to clean, give me a few clouds :)
#3 is what I stated, just a general over view of the location. The B&G can look at it and know where they will be doing certain things but yes, no defined subject, just a pretty 'general' picture.

Very nice. I guess I'm in the minority. For some reason, I keep wanting to go back and look at #3. I do like the first one, but the 3rd is my personal favorite. I can't even explain why. I guess I'm too tired, had to deal with plumbing issues all weekend. Came back to work to get some relaxation.
