Just started looking at the site. You take some seriously beautiful pictures. I love this shoot a lot because her dress looks totally different in each one. Its very down to earth and beautiful. Love it!

Loved the shot with the flowing water, slowing down the shutter speed really gave it a nice effect.

@ Angie. Thanks for dropping on by. As for the picture with the rushing water. I was standing on a make shift bridge out of plywood which was not stable in the least. That shot was taken at 1/13 sec at f/ 20. So it was not a terribly long exposure but to help freeze the subjects I fired off the flash. Had I had a tripod and some slightly better positioning I might have tried something closer to a 1/2 second exposure to get an even silkier effect of the rushing water.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and commenting! It means so much coming from you – since your work is so amazing!! I still have so much to learn — but I’m loving it so! The photo with the waterfall is incredible. I understand how to get the water that way, but where you telling the couple, “don’t move a muscle?”
