Default Where has Vin been ?

Finishing up the wedding photos, I have a few more for Paul and Maria, but here are some sample collages I just slapped together.

I spent sooo much time in post on these.. but only because I was clueless at the wedding,dispite the wonderful suggestions and coaching I recieved. if I ever get a chance for another wedding I will be better prepared.

Wedding Collage1


Wedding Collage

My intentions are to give them something the Professional didn't provide, and I certainly am a rookie at shooting people and in doing serious work in post production.

Wedding Collage2

The last two still need some BG work.. but that's pretty easy and doesn't take long

some of these are distorted to fit in the collage space, I tried to keep them fairly simple ( except for the Fireworks background which I used my own fireworks shot !!!

I am well aware they are not professional standard, but I did my best ( I certainly put the hours into them ) and I just hope Paul and Maria like them.

And I hope You like them too, as always thanks for taking a look,

Vin

Vin, my friend, I've certainly missed you! And now I see why -- have you ever been working hard! Great job on these -- I especially love all the tender moments in that last collage. Thanks for sharing these with us -- they should be thrilled!

I sure was wondering where Vin has been...
glad to see you are back and that you had
a good reason for being away
You have been missed.
These are wonderful... I love the little girl in your
first collage... she is too adorable.
All wonderful and I'm sure they will love them too.

These are fantastic Vin and well worth the many hours you have put into them. I particularly like the first shot and the one of the couple with the rainbow colours behind them. I am sure everyone involved will be highly impressed with these.
