Schwetty's "Best of 2011"

[Robin Usagani]

I wasn't really going to do best of 2011 because
A. 2011 was really my first year in wedding photography.. hell.. it was only my 2nd year learning photography.
B. Slim picking because I didnt do that many weddings (main shooter or 2nd)
C. My style has changed so much. I am not that impressed with my shots I have done except from my last wedding.
But.. wth... here they are (plus some engagement sessions). I even showed my first wedding(not showing that many from my first because this is "best of" thread, they weren't very good LOL)! CCs are welcome. You wont hurt my feeling because.. really I know a lot of them are not that strong:

Great job, Babe!! I can't wait to see your work from 2012....=)

Great shots, Robin... happy people, and you show that!

Not that strong? Sheesh...I liked tham all very much (apart from the one with the couple in the distance on the hill...my first thought was they were "squaring up" for a fight...but I think it was just a kiss! )

Nice set...good luck in 2012.

Love #5.... It's been quite a year for you.

Wow, honestly, I would have never guessed that you were in your first year of wedding photography. You seem to have great control of your camera. My only suggestion is that you find some more creative poses. What you've shown in the thread is really nice, don't get me wrong. But I think those types of images are seen quiet often. Maybe you could add some new poses/props to your current list of ideas to add a little more flare. Especially for younger couples. Great work!!!

Beautiful pics

 

[Chris R]

I actually kind of hate you for being so good with it being only your 2nd year.But really, they are all enjoyable photos.

 

[cguron]

excellent year!! I guarntee that 2012 will be even better.

 

[D-B-J]

I hope to one day take photo's like you. Honestly, I always look forwards to viewing your threads. Well done.

Beautiful set of photography, there are some mind blowing photography......I love your shots very much.Thanks for sharing.

 

[shootermcgavin]

I think you've posted better before. These are all great but I think there was an asian couple or family you shot in a park that was my favorite and none of them made it here. I like the train shot but I love it as a moving image. Thanks for posting and nice year of photos!

A lot of wedding photography, including the stuff I see in PDN, makes me want to throw up. Yours doesn't. That is a major achievement. Well done. It feels like you have a good rapport with the subjects and that lets them shine through, at least in the closer shots. They look like they are happy being themselves, and with their partner. They don't look like people in an artificial pose in an artificial situation, and you have avoided the cheesy nonsense. Thanks for giving me hope that all is not lost out there.
