Hey girls! Had my mom take some pics of us up at the Cape last week and I wanted to see which ones you thought were the best. We are kind of squinty in them because it was crazy bright almost every day up there!!

1.)

2.)

3.)

4.)

I like # 4 since it shows off the bling. In the others, I feel like your FI's face is in the shadow, in this one its not.

I think yall look the most relaxed in the first one

jenjennjennifer · September 2012

I did notice the shadows, ugh! I think it's because my hair is so massive it put his face in the shadow LOL oh man. I wonder if we can fix that.
Thanks for your input!!

The only thing I'd say is that while #4 is good for the previously mentioned reasons, you might want to crop off the empty space on the side. It looks off-center, as the left-hand side cuts off your FI's elbow etc.

Crap, guess my mom isn't very good at taking people photos, lol. She takes awesome nature photos though! I do like the first one the best so far, but I'm wondering if I can lighten some of the shadows. Anyone have experience with this? The extent of my photo editing is on picasa, lol, so i'm not very tech saavy when it comes to this stuff. Not very tech saavy period actually! Haha

Although I seem to be in the minority, I like #3 the best!

emilyb213 · September 2012

I love #2, but I'd try to lighten the shadow a little bit. Maybe try auto contrast and auto color in Picasa, and play with the shadow and fill lights sliders on the second tab in the editing features and see if that helps.

I like 4 as well!

jenjennjennifer · September 2012

Thanks ladies! I really appreciate your input! I am going to work on the shadowing as well as the cropping!

OK so seriously, I am not a creepy stalker. haha I quick catured your photos cuz the shadow was driving me nuts. I have a shadow button on my photo editing and this is what I got when I did one and two. I found the shadow buton under the exposure adjustment.

I love #2!! I think it's sweet that you two are sitting and he's got his arms around you. Oh, and I even love that one tendril of hair catching the wind! Definitely #2!!

#2 for sure! Esp after Cili lightened them up

abrozowski · September 2012

I love #4! I think it has the best lighting. Choosing photos for save the dates is so hard. I just did that on Monday and had to choose just 3 pictures (out of the 100 or so we had taken). Whichever one you choose, the save the dates will be beautiful I'm sure!

jenjennjennifer · September 2012

Thanks, Cili! You are not a stalker lol! I appreciate you taking the time to edit them!

I think I am going to go with #1 because it's the least squinty. I "de-shadowed" my FI lol. I do really like #2 but I feel #1 he is more on an even level with me, rather than it just being the "Jen" show. hehe. I like all of them, but the squintiness of FI in #4 is rubbing me the wrong way!

You girls rock! Thanks for all the comments & tips!
