Fantastic job. I cannot see my wedding couples affording a helicopter. Your results are full of colour and atmosphere.

Great work.
Too many people in one helicopter though.
Just sayin’….

Hey Neil,

Finally getting around to this post of yours. What a great location. I’m envious. I haven’t read through all of it yet but will do so shortly. As always thanks for sharing your motivation to lighting.

The lighting is great in these shots, but what I really don’t understand about the photos (and keep seeing as a growing fad in photography) is the over-use of unsharp mask. I mean, waaaaayyyy overuse to make images look like cartoons. Is this just a new aesthetic? If so, count me out! Like most “HDR”, it looks pretty darn tacky…

You are great as you are so unselfishly in sharing your experience and hand-on know-hows.
I am finding your sharing very inspiring and helpful to me as I continue to learn more about capturing light that God created for us.
A big Thanks to you.

Neil! These are AMAZING pix!! Awesome job, I loved looking at each one! One thing I’m really trying to work on is lighting, and using off camera flash on the go. I feel inspired, thanks! This couple must LOVE you right now!
