	Jennifer Farris - Photographer Kernersville NC Wedding Photographer Photo Equipment: 5D with a 85mm lens in manual exposure @ 1/3200sec @ F/1.8 Description: The image pictured was shot at Magnolia Manor in Greensboro, NC. I owe this image entirely to my clients. They really wanted a "sexy" feel for to their photographs. Prior to shooting the one on one shots, I coached the bride to "work" the camera, showed her a few facial expressions, etc. and she just ran with it. The result was magnificent! This image is probably my all time favorite image to date.

	Anne Lord Photography Reston VA Wedding Photographer Photo Equipment: D200 - Aperture Priority, F6.3 at 1/60th - natural light. Description: The bride and groom had their ceremony and reception on the Odyssey Cruise line which operates on the Potomac River, Washington, DC I had taken all the formals prior to the boat departing on the cruise. However, later in the evening I noticed that the sunset and light were particularly good and asked if the couple wouldn't mind stepping outside for a couple of shots. They were a fun couple - very much in love and very accommodating and this was one of my favorite images. Techniques: Photographs were processed in Lightroom and touched up in Photoshop

	M. Couturier, Photographer Offices in Nashville TN, Williamsburg VA, Chicago IL Photo Equipment: Shot on a Canon 1D MkII camera and 24-70mm f/2.8 lens. Description: Photo was taken in Virginia Beach at 39th St. Sarah and Lachlan wanted to stop by the beach on the way from their ceremony in Sandbridge to their reception at Cavalier on The Hill, both in Virginia Beach. I sent them way down the beach to walk around and be alone and told them to turn around and walk back when they felt like they had gone far enough. This way, by the time they were walking back and talking to each other, they would be way more relaxed and have totally forgotten about me. Techniques: Saturation boosted later in Photoshop.

	Your Life Photography Newport News, VA Wedding Photographer Photo Equipment: Canon 5D camera,Canon 24-105mm L lens, ISO of 100, 1/160, f/ 4.5 at 24mm. Description: The photo was taken at First State Landing Park Virginia Beach, Virginia on July 7, 2007. I was capturing the wedding of Debbie & Jacob and she expessed to me that she really wanted a photo of her veil blowing in the wind. We sat there and waited until just the right gust came along and this was the result. I couldn't have asked for anything better than such beautiful subjects on such a wonderful day. For this photo, I crouched down so that I would appear hidden in the grass and it would make you ask: "How did they get that shot?"
