I have to ask...how did you get her to lay down in the grass in that dress? They are both very nice shots.

Pretty easy....was a very hot day near the end of the shoot and we were in a meticulously cared for garden. Took her to this shady spot and tested the grass for her...she was more than happy to cool off lying in the grass....we also gave her a hand laying down gently.

I was going to ask the same question about the grass!

I haven't done a lot of weddings but I doubt I could convince one of the brides I've had to do that

Lucky you!

That second one is really beautiful.

Both shots are awesome Jon... but #2 is the winner in many wedding shots I've seen, just outstanding :thumbup:

Didn't her dress get grass stains on it?

Superb photos anyway, especially the second one.

My thoughts too.

Maybe a bit of retouch on the first to lighten the shadows under the eyes and lose the small hot-spot next to her head.

Great stuff!
