Eric and Erinn are both officers in the Navy which rang for me with both of my parents having been in. Erinn is actually currently stationed in Virginia and Eric is working on getting into BUDS (Navy SEAL training) here in Coronado. They plan on getting married in Lawrence, Kansas. I’m crossing my fingers they fly me out to photograph the wedding too.
Eric currently lives in Imperial Beach, and Erinn was visiting him for a week, which was a perfect time to get their Engagement Photography session done. we started out in IB with a few early morning shots with my Neutral Density filter technique I’ve been working on out on the pier and jetty. We took a mid-day break for lunch, then met back up at Windansea to finish off the session in the afternoon sun. The beach was packed with other photographers, so we snuck off to one of my secret spots I like to use.
We came up with some great shots. The Neutral Density photos (the two B+W) are composites with the first exposure in the 20 second range and the second shot with Eric and Erinn was about 1/45th of a second. A little bit of Photoshop magic and we have some unique artwork.
Loooooove that first b&w image! It’s absolutely gorgeous.
Lovely, William! Very cool how you combined those two exposures to get exactly what you wanted. Good luck with getting to Kansas!
Great job William!! Love the black and white images! 🙂
Oh wow! You just made me miss everything about San Diego. Great job!
I adore your black and white shots!
William, I LOVE that 3rd shot. I don’t see a lot of ND digital work–that black and white image is just stunning though.
That first shot is great, so cute and natural!
Wonderful work, William. I love the shot on the jetty. I love how it’s very symmetrical with the couple on one side and slow enough of a shutter speed to soften the waves and water. Well done.
that sunset light makes me melt… the black and whites are just gorgeous – i’m in love with that third shot. beautiful work!
LOVE that third one especially. Well done!
Thank you everyone for the incredible comments. They were truly a fun couple to shoot.
Beautiful Work! I love that third one – absolutely gorgeous!
Love that first portrait. So relaxed and the golden tones work really well.
this is very beautiful image i am really impressed
Great Photo and great tones. It’s a sweet surprise very calm and simply amazing!
Wow you’re right! That picture was absolutely amazing! I have a similar picture taken in the morning at a denver golf course. I’ve had people suggest I submit it to a photography contest but I’m not so sure.
