2 is 1 - The Outdoor Chapel
Posted by {H} creatives (San Francisco Bay Area, United States) on 23 July 2007 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
Hello, Inspiration Circle!
Thanks for your comments and critiques. The positive feedback that you've given to better my framing, composition, technique, etc., have really helped me in fine tuning what I will post on my portfolio. Thank you so much!
This is continuing the "color" encore series of wedding photography that started with the b/w collection here, and sepia experimentation here.
This post is a picture of the outdoor makeshift chapel of the Acqua Hotel in the beautiful Mill Valley, Marin County - where Jansen and Airin finally tied the knot. This was taken after the ceremony [after all the guests have gone inside to wait for the reception] and when the sun was just beginning to set, overlooking the gorgeous San Francisco Bay. Hope you guys like it. B-)
As always, thanks so much for taking the time to visit and comment. I shall "see" you on your p-blog soon!
'Til then...Cheers! B-)

I bet they love this pic, H. It's such a good angle on a very important part of the whole!

Agree w the rest... good composition...
the inclusion of the lake (correct me if it is not a lake :p) have added much to the whole atmosphere presented in the foto.
Mood felt: peaceful surrounding with something special gg on beside the lake....with the pure whiteness of the outdoor makeshift chapel..
:) make ur dream of becoming of wedding photographer come true..!

tyan from Singapore, Singapore
what breathtaking scenery! Wow! In Singapore,the outdoor weddings are not so ideal cos it is humid over here. I went to an outdoor wedding once and it drizzled halfway and there were LOTS of mozzies.And the parking was far away and i had to walk a very long distance though i was heavily preggie with Caleb then. Unforgettable in not such a good way!But J & A's is so beautiful!Given my previous bad experience,i really wont mind attending this one!LOL
ps:i thought i felt the breeze!

Tal from Canada
Great shot! I love the angle, and the white of the chairs, umbrella and pathway stand out nicely against the darker colour of the grass. Must have been beautiful to see in person!

A nice place for a particulary day...
The wide angle is excellent here.

this is a great scenery but in my opinion the image is too small for the subject. You loose all of the details of the chairs, that is a pity!

Gérard Méry from France
Excellent, une belle composition et une lumière du soir (sans doute) douce et chaude à la fois..vraiment superbe.

The white at the bottom stands out so crisply, it makes the whole photo snap. The angles of the house and water frame it in an interesting (& symmetrical) way. Beautifully done.
