Very impressive creativitity and execution.

It does make me wonder,with this ever increasing need for the spectacular, how many people are let down by their life afterwards. Life, and especially married life, can't always be high,flashing lights and glitz. No wonder so many marriage flounder when they discover washing up isn't accompanied by lightning and adrenaline.


Sorry, being a bit to cynical and 60+ this morning.

I agree, the marriage needs to be more important than the wedding.

Unfortunately a lot of brides who will pay for a top photographer are probably the ones who become Bridezillas.

but some times when we get older and are forced to slow down more and take our time, it is a good thing.  ;-)

I bet you have a book and log when and how much fuel you put in the car!

(I have, ever since my first car in the UK). I must be really old.

I have every receipt for fuel since at least 1984 I kept a log of fuel going back before that but there are gaps.

I simply write the milage on the fuel ticket and file them, when I am bored and need some excitement I enter the details into a spreadsheet.

When I had my Sinclair ZX80 I made a BASIC program which did all sorts of analysis of the data, nowadays Excel and Numbers suffice!!!

What fun.

My first Land Rover, a Series one used to get £1.00 a week of petrol, that was 3 gallons. That did all my running about for the week. Currently I usually spend at least 40 times that a week and that's if I don't go anywhere!!! LOL

Some of this work looks like pre-made background shots and a green screen wedding shot.

I did wonder about that...

Eric, what do you think?

The attire doesn't always seem to be reacting to the environment in some of the scenes...

 The elephant shot seemed strange to me but the rest seem real enough. The elephant pic could have been shot at a wild animal park with a trained elephant just for tourist photo purposes. The others all seem to have wet or wind blown dresses or hair in all the right places.

Two of the shots have lightening strikes in just the right places at just the right time and then to have no flinching by the couples seems a bit much.
It's hard enough to get a bolt any where on a frame once in a while.

I'm thinking that as you said this is big Photoshop or green screen use!

My vote would be......

1 Genuine
2 Wooden elephant statue
3 Genuine
4 Think it's a combination....grass looks odd round trousers??
5 Genuine
6 Why would you do this? Combo IMHO
7 - 10 Genuine
11 Think it's a combination. Having taken autocross shots ...too hard to script....too easy to combine!
12 Think it's a poor execution of a background replacement
13 Genuine
14 Obviously digitally manipulated ...Exposure of water highlights over 1stop less than dress!!
15 Genuine
16 Genuine

For me its more about the things that HAVENT been edited that suggest to me those images are genuine. For example, no one would leave a skyscraper coming out of the brides head (no 1) if they were adding a skyline.

And...The tornado shot...why didn't he clone the road over those grey bands that break up the strong line to the horizon? So again I think this is genuine...or limited creativity.


A lot of the couples have been worked on ...so this gives the slightly over done, unreal different exposure, compared to the backgrounds.

Somewhere like Darwin at the right time of year you could pretty much gaurentee lightning. A wedding photographer there would just need a cheap lightening trigger to get the shot, flinching would come a bit later with the thunder.

Someone shooting weddings up there might have quite a portfolio to pick the best from for this collection.
