I came upon your blog and site and love what I see. I absolutely LOVE the first image of the bride here. It feels so romantically classic with the mute tones. Stunning work through out.

Neil, Thank you for the information! These images are very storytelling. You captured the chemistry of love quite well.

I visit your site quite often in order to gain inspiration and to learn basic lighting techniques. I am not a professional photographer, but I always try my best to learn and take great pictures. Two days ago I was taking pictures at a lecture given by the 2009 Nobel Prize Winner in Chemistry at Yale, and I always had your flash techniques in mind.

Thank you for keeping such an informative web site.

Nicolas, that image in the church was taken with a 70-200mm f2.8 zoom, at f2.8

The longer focal length and wide aperture created the seperation.

In the 3 romantic portraits photos of the couple, I used the 85mm f1.4 wide open, for an even shallower depth of field.

Neil,

These images of Jennifer and John are really astonishing! What lens and apertures did you use in order to isolate the subject from the background so nicely as show in image #4?

Beautiful work.
