Hello, Inspiration Circle!
As always, thank you for each one of your comments, critiques and feedback - please note that I do appreciate each one greatly, and some even prompted me to "think"...lol. And though I may not have the time to answer every single comment, be assured that I will be revisiting every one of your p-blogs in return and answer questions/comments on your site! B-)
This is the 11th installment of this "Two Shall Become One" series - a collection of wedding photography that started here. In an attempt to diversify [as suggested by a fellow p-blogger eydryan on this post], I decided to post this photo. This was taken from Yeny and Ethan's reception desk. The card along with the "home-made" wooden stand was an instruction for guests to fill out the "guest book", and to say a few wishes for the married couple. For "natural framing", I tried using the candle that is on the foreground for depth, as well as the picture frame [no pun intended] on the left. Not sure if this is one of my strong suit - these pictures without "facial expressions" - as I am more fond of taking pictures of people and their expressions. But I guess in wedding photography it is important to capture these details as well - just to add to the collection of what the wedding atmosphere was like and to give some depth to the nuances of the day.
This will be my last post from Yeny and Ethan's wedding - I'm trying to gauge on whether I should continue forward with more wedding photos for all of you to critique. So far, all of you have been a tremendous help in allowing me to measure which ones of these pictures will need to stay, taken out, or edited for my portfolio. Let me know what you think: should I continue with a different couple and more wedding pics? Or are you guys getting bored?...lol.
Until I revisit you on your p-blogs, thanks as always for taking the time to visit and comment.
Hope everyone had a great weekend. Cheers!
Beautiful. Simple yet it says everything. Yes, in the midst of a big event, we tend to forget the little things - things that make the event memorable - like this. You captured it just right :)

Beautiful, simple, minimalist and conveys the message. Lovely.
9 Jul 2007 8:58am
I agree, I also like the simplicity here. Well done!
9 Jul 2007 9:17am
Beautiful composition & nice DOF.well captured!
Perfect!
9 Jul 2007 9:23am
What a nice simple shot! Great composition too. It's definitely just as important to catch these details at a wedding!
9 Jul 2007 9:40am
nice detail and lighting
9 Jul 2007 9:55am
Ending..of series...argh... more more encore encore haaa. Great composition. simple but elegant. Great shot!
9 Jul 2007 10:32am
lovely composition
9 Jul 2007 10:48am
Its funny how we take pictures of the smallest details and make it look like the big event. This picture of the wedding card is amazing and if I were the bride, I would order the photo. Although it is just a card, it speaks volumes.
Really nice way to end the series if you decide to.
9 Jul 2007 12:10pm
The lettering stands out so well with the out of focus back drop.
9 Jul 2007 12:34pm
Great light,DOF and composition.Well done!
9 Jul 2007 12:45pm
Excellent rendering and use of DOF. I love the nostalgic way you put in this photograph.
9 Jul 2007 1:30pm
Beautiful and so simple shot...and also so moving!
9 Jul 2007 2:10pm
Interesting shot. This one shows your ability and skill. About your question; the photos of current series are excellent and I love to see more of them, but on the other hand, it's a great chance that I could see photos from other series of you. So please share other photos from other series.
9 Jul 2007 2:29pm
Lovely shot! Simple, yet poignant
9 Jul 2007 3:06pm
A heart-warmingly simple image that could well grace the cover of their wedding album, or the first page.
9 Jul 2007 3:08pm
A thought provoking well composed image. It makes you stop and ponder . . .
9 Jul 2007 3:24pm
I love the simplicity!
9 Jul 2007 4:16pm
again....beautiful. This is the type of image every bride loves to revisit in her album!
9 Jul 2007 6:37pm
Super job pal!! Awesome shots! I can't wait to see what you put up next! :)
9 Jul 2007 6:42pm
Not your typical wedding shot, but very nice. I like the stand that the sign is on.
9 Jul 2007 6:47pm
A fitting conclusion to a memorable series.
9 Jul 2007 7:37pm
Yeah, I like the idea behind it, and the composition. Not the usual 'happy couple shot' and thats a nice change. Good work.
9 Jul 2007 8:05pm
I love that. Simple and sweet small touches really make a wedding special.
9 Jul 2007 9:20pm
Love it !!
9 Jul 2007 9:48pm
Nice DOF with the sign. More wedding images is good!
9 Jul 2007 9:57pm
Hey dude, Very very sorry ive not been around lately and i think you noticed.
You know what? I feel like getting married as soon as possible after looking at ur wedding shots. HAhaha. but i dont think can afford to pay you with the type of photography skills you have. I dont get to take photos of cards like this during weddings because i mostly do portraits. Only get to shoot cards during birthday parties. I really love ur pics man. Makes me wanna stop my darn job and go back to photography line. Cheers!
9 Jul 2007 10:11pm
A lovely shot again - love the simplicity of this shot ....
9 Jul 2007 10:26pm
Lovely shot and beautiful Dof, you are master wedding photographer bro. :)
9 Jul 2007 11:04pm
This is a sweet, touching image.
9 Jul 2007 11:50pm
There's something very sentimental and poignant about this picture. Well done. I've been visiting your site for a while now, although I haven't commented since I haven't had much to add (you get a lot of comments). Keep up the amazing work. Oh, and I love how these shots are in black and white. I've been using a lot of color lately, but I used to shoot exclusively in black and white. Even though a lot of people think b/w is outdated, there's just so much you can do with a b/w photo, and i think you've done that very well.
10 Jul 2007 1:22am
I love shots like this one. They focus seemingly peripheral things which are nonetheless full of symbolism. Well done!
10 Jul 2007 1:37am
i like this a lot!i like the frame and the way this card says,'make a wish'.I think u are just as good at pictures without people in them!No,NOT bored at all!Keep the pictures coming man!:)
10 Jul 2007 1:38am
You know what I think of you..., this is splendid my friend.
10 Jul 2007 1:44am
How to make something simple in to something real interesting... very good work !
10 Jul 2007 2:05am
dreamy ... well done
10 Jul 2007 3:05am
I think you've found your niche, H, so as far as I'm concerned, you can take pics of as many weddings as you wish and show them to us! The simplest of pics, of course, are often the best...or at least part of the whole!
10 Jul 2007 3:27am
Can't get married again H. Beautiful....
10 Jul 2007 4:11am
Beautiful shot. Very {H} creative indeed :)
10 Jul 2007 4:34am
I have really enjoyed this serial; you have a very unique stile in capturing these precious moments. Today’s picture is no exception, the details are important and easy to overlook, but you where there and captured it. Well done!
10 Jul 2007 4:36am
I agree with viewfinder - this would make an excellent cover shot or first page shot in their album - unusual, different, and yet complete. Nice eye!
10 Jul 2007 5:13am
I've always liked details...In the end they are the ones who "tell the story" and give meaning to the whole. This one is lovely and the shot just looks great...as usual! :) I confess I would like to see other kind of subjects...in your photos. I'm curious... :D
10 Jul 2007 7:17am
very nice, very atmospheric...
10 Jul 2007 7:49am
Your photos are wonderful. I've looked through them, and i've loved every single one. You're very talented and inspirational indeed :)
10 Jul 2007 9:26am
You really are the master of framing and focussing. Great image, the lighting is 100% perfect
10 Jul 2007 9:58am
Very touching and a nice memento!
10 Jul 2007 10:25am
Great picture again. Perfect in every possible way. Wish them luck!
10 Jul 2007 11:34am
Yet another nice shot. And you have taken this shot from a nice angle.
10 Jul 2007 1:44pm
Bonito detalle para complementar una colección.
10 Jul 2007 2:19pm
All the happiness of the world for them. Nice image!
10 Jul 2007 3:02pm
You say a lot in this detail! Nice picture
10 Jul 2007 3:39pm
very cute and peaceful! hope all of your pics will get printed!!
10 Jul 2007 3:56pm
nice composition
10 Jul 2007 5:07pm
hey {H}--a simple but effective shot like this one is only part of the story-so it deserves to be shown--I've really enjoyed this series--however I like even more your child and father shots from previous postings(they even made me pull one out of the bag-I was that inspired)--therein lies your fortune--cheers--billy
10 Jul 2007 7:06pm
such awesome perspective and framing in this shot! really really liked it a lot
10 Jul 2007 7:33pm
simple yet elegant.
10 Jul 2007 11:39pm
I love this shot, perfect use of DOF. I love it!!
11 Jul 2007 12:57am
Oooh! Very nice composition!
11 Jul 2007 3:05am
Nice DOF! Lovely shot.
11 Jul 2007 8:20pm
*throws a coin in and makes a wish* :D hahaha. i may be starting a wedding series for a short time soon... just took a couple of photos at my cousin's wedding, and i have a few from another wedding in jan as well. BUT i honestly think they suck so still contemplating whether i should share them with the world :p
12 Jul 2007 1:39am
Another lovely wedding-related shot. You rule, to speak bluntly.
13 Jul 2007 7:30pm
Very nice composition and DOF.
17 Jul 2007 6:52am
of course it's simplcity which gives it the most value, and therefore i really see this as the cover of a wedding photobook. dude this may just be the thing for you, taking wedding photos seems to be your thing, and i see CS is becoming quite friendy :)
