This is crazy, I kind of know this girl, I went to school with her. The lighting looks great, good pictures.

These are a nice set; I'd suggest cropping #1 on the LH side to off-set the subjects from the centre a little bit. When shooting people with large hats I find that a reflector on the ground or just below the camera view and placed so that it's right under his face to reduce the hat shadow slightly.

#4 is my favorite from this set which is pretty darn good overall. I have a hard time with slanted shots but in #2 I at least understand the 'stacking' of the subjects. The angle on #3 makes the subject somewhat obsure and difficult for me to see without tilting my head.

quality is good but the poses are a bit cliche. but a lot of that depends on what they want. They do look happy thought which is very important.

I think cowboy is gonna be in for one he(( of a honeymoon.

i like the first and last ones the most. number two's angle im not crazy about at all. Great lighting though man! im sure they will like these.

[Brinr]

Thanks for the comments you guys!
I especially will take the posing comments and tilt comments into consideration.

Tirediron: Ya it's funny I bought a reflector for this shoot and the thing didn't show up until the day after the shoot .

Kayliana: Where are you from? Are you a Nevada native?

[kayliana]

I'm from Overton/Logandale. Small town outside of Las Vegas. That's why it's so crazy I seen someone I know on here, afterall, we only have one highschool! haha. Great pictures though

Can you elaborate about how the pocketwizards weren't in a good mood?

Ya I have heard that the new canon flex miniTT1 doesn't work very well with the older version PlusII, especially with the 580exii. What I have heard is to just stick with the older versions all the way. On that day the flash would fire like maybe 4 or 5 times and then I would have to reset the mini and change channels and then it would work for 4 or 5 flashes and I would have to reset, not good for my professional appearance. Anyone else have this problem?

I would just stick with plus II's, they are IMO the best wireless triggers at a very affordable price. Been using them for years and never once had a problem with miss fires or no fires (that is unless you count the times it takes me five minutes to realize the batteries are dead )

The first and the third ones are my favorite not bad at all!
