Some Portraiture

Some Portraiture · 10:56 AM

Went and visited the location of my friend's wedding that I'm the photographer last weekend. Got a couple good shots in while we were there. The way these two are together, I'm hoping I really don't have to give much direction during the post-ceremony shoot.

I'm not sure how I feel about the B&W conversions (used lightroom 2). Comments and criticisms welcome.

The BW-conversions could do with some more contrast to make more use of the full range from white to black. Especially the lighter tones could be lighter still.

Thanks Kevin, I'll take a look at them again when I get home and try your suggestions.

Very nice shots, but I would have brought the same issue up as Kevin. The hightlights could be more pronounced, but still these are fine pics!

The first one a little tighter maybe, crop.
Good luck

basicaly I agree with what has been written above.
Bit tighter crop on first and bit more contrast on other two. Plus I'd try the first in BW too.
But all in all fine shots.
