Description

I helped a friend out with a wedding the other day and this was probably the only serious shot we got! They were such a fun couple.

This is the bw version. I can not decide which I like better. I would love to know what you all think. #361523

BOTH!! I am no help, when I saw the color one I loved it and then you added the BW, so both!!
This has such emotion, especially on such a memorable day, really well done, I love it!! #2199660

Both versions are wonderful. This has such beauty and shows their connection.--Rene #2199683

Wonderful portrait, Sandy! Both are great but I'm partial to the B/W version. It just looks so timeless and classic. Just beautiful! #2199750

Wende Trew December 19, 2005

Such a tender moment on a special day captured here Sandy. They look so very young!! I'm partial to the color version but they are both fabulous! #2199818

I love both images Sandy, but I prefer the B&W version, Terrific work!!! #2199911

Jennifer Rennison December 19, 2005

So beautiful, Sandy! Wonderful tender moment you've captured! She has such beautiful blue eyes that really stand out in the color version, but B&W is so classic, sorry but both!! #2200017

Hayley J. Hamlin December 19, 2005

Sandy, they are both beautiful...terrific job. Of the wedding work I have seen of yours so far you are gonna be really busy once your portfolios get out!!
I really am partial to B&W though...just a personal preferance though.
I am sorry I haven't been around lately...I will have to check out your gallery and see what beauty's I have missed:)

Sandy Landon December 19, 2005

Thanks everyone for your wonderful remarks. You all have the same debate I do. I like the color for her eyes and I like the bw for the classic look. Too hard. I guess I will leave it up to them!! :) #2200515

Heather Harpel December 20, 2005

Wonderful wedding photo! It's absolutely gorgeous! I agree with all the other comments, both are spectacular! I can see why you have such a hard time deciding. I prefer the black and white, but just by a slim margin, they are both stunning! #2204375

W O W ! ! !

No matter how you slice it ~ your wedding work is outstanding. And, I vote for the color version of this image; you've really nailed the skin tones and the background color adds to the mood.

WELL DONE!!! #2300720
