"So Happy Together"

These two, they are! First Dance, Barnard Castle, very late on Saturday night.

Watch the Turtles' 1967 One-Hit-Wonder and let some happiness rub off on you:
'So Happy Together'

This is a Nikon D80 shot, 800ISO with on-camera flash, shot in very very dark room. RAW edit in rawtherapee to get rid of harsh shades and to balance out colours. Now, opinions are divided on glamblurring and supersmoothing, but this bride and groom are just glowing and look great as they are, and I am very reluctant to apply a wand of any kind. Or what do you think?

Darling Herzchen, getting married to whom *innocently looking around for potential suitors*???
However, I have been informed from reliable sources that Minox 35's come with a lifetime warranty :)))

Shooting a wedding together is just one step away from getting married... :-)))

Who's Ray? ;-)

Oh! Ans I must acknowledge the Turltles were NOT a one-hit wonder. But this is their most famous sing, and what a great one it is! May even nab that for my own wedding... we can still dream, right?
Anja Lieder25-Nov-2008 18:53
Thank you all! Of course Ray and I did NOT get married, but we DID shoot this wedding together!

Thanks for all the positive feedback on my decision not to glamblur. Bride and groom couldn;t have looked any better or happier, and I hope that we have captured that in the pictures. On my little survey of wedding photographers sites, there is far too much glamblurring and diffuse glowing and god knows what. Fine, if this is what customers want. Even better, if you can capture beauty without having to resort to digi trickery. :)

Anja I hope you enjoyed yourself as much as we did. Thankyou for coming with Ray and taking pictures of our special day. It was much better having a photographer who is a friend doing them, and it also fit in very well with our relaxed theme. A massive thankyou and we are so glad you stayed over. Oh and the turtles did have a few hits. But have no idea what effect the shading etc has but looks an excellent pic to me

Superb shot. Wonderful expressions. PS: The Turtles weren´t a one hit wonder.

A very happy wedding shot.

This shot is full of great atmosphere.
Inga Morozoff24-Nov-2008 15:34
Ya know, glamburring and supersmoothing is often too noticeable and overused. I find this shot charming as is. What's more beautiful than 'real' people with 'real' textures and 'real' colours in thier skin? Great job!
Maaike Huizer24-Nov-2008 08:57
Yes, I remember that song. This is a super picture to go with it.
