I did their wedding pictures a couple years ago: http://smu.gs/NslqTm

I didn't know them very well prior to the wedding but after we've become even better friends. I visit them when I'm in the Bay Area and we usually get dinner or something.
They're big fans and now even better friends.

A little extra
So one of the value of becomming friends is I come do family pictures and then when the rest of the family goes back up to the house… you stick around and get some extra pictures for yourself. Probably the best stuff of the day. (mostly because 2 people is easier than 10 people and kids)

And for me it's great to stay friends with good looking people because they make my pictures look good!!

yay +Nathan Fernsten and +Rachel T. Fernsten

  2. Ron Grooms says

    Well put, great post.

    … beautiful …

  4. Richard Swayze says

    Such a beautiful moment with them staring into each other's eyes. And the sun in the background makes such a nice atmosphere.

    Great setting, beautiful, loving and warm emotions coming from the young lady…but the guy ruins the shot? Why is he so stiff? In fact is he leaning away from her? And what is it with his thumb in his pocket. 

    I'm sorry but this photograph just hit me all wrong.???

    perfect in every way, and I can appreciate this post even more having watched your engagement shoot LR workflow video (which was immediately helpful)…thank you +Scott Jarvie

    Sorry +Tom Weishaar, male modeling is just my side job, not my full-time gig. Thanks Scott!

  8. Scott Jarvie says

    +Tom Weishaar she should totally change husbands… at least for the family pictures… I'm sure +Nathan Fernsten would be cool if the family pictures had a stand in!
    Right +Nathan Fernsten ?

    In all actuality I think I even told him to be strong and stand up straight and make her work for it… haha

    But I must say that the thumb in the pocket… +Nathan Fernsten you did that amazingly… you pulled it off like a pro. You could consider thumb in pocket as a full time gig if you wanted to!! #pimpinainteasy

    Not at all +Scott Jarvie. I'll do whatever is best for the picture. ;-)

    Hi, which lens you have used here?

  11. Scott Jarvie says

    85 1.4

  12. Gene Bowker says

    ok, 2nd half of the question.. FF or Cropped sensor? +Scott Jarvie 

  13. Gene Bowker says

    I can see why the 85 is so popular

  14. Scott Jarvie says

    ff

  15. Gene Bowker says

    thanks +Scott Jarvie =) I've finally learned that the lens info without that bit of info doesn't tell you that much =)
