Nice stuff. I particularly like the energy in the first, and how you held so much detail in the dress.
Thanks for sharing.

Great work, love the Chuck Taylors. On the first, did you have to drop in a nicer sky? Only asking because it looks like an overcast sky near the horizon but pretty and blue everywhere else.

I took all the images using only my SB-800 speedlight, so I had only basic control over the light. The sky was dark and cloudy, and rain was off to the west. I metered on the white dress so I could hold some detail, which made the sky an bride dark in my original image. In PS I added a duplicate layer and used Brighten Contrast to lighten the entire image. Then I used Layer Mask to hide the lighter layer and painted over the bride and the dress to brighten her while leaving the sky dark. I was in a hurry, and there are a few sloppy areas where I "painted outside the line" (I've painted outside the line since kindergarten LOL).
