I've been on fb marketplace for months looking for a good deal on a camera. I recently found a great deal for a used sony A6000 with 18-105 f4 lens for $400 in facebook marketplace. I'm such a cheapskate. 😂 and can post convo screenshots with past owner if needed. Lol.
After that, I've posted lots of portaits of my partner, and daughter, and some landsapes pics too.
Then weeks later, a friend asked a favor if i could take photos of her and her fiance on their intimate wedding in a courthouse in Chicago. I immediately said yes. And the ceremony didn't take long at all. We had time to kill before lunch and Millenium Park was about a 15min walk from the courthouse. so we did our stroll walking through downtown. and this shot of them is the best one that i took in my opinion. I have no prior experience in coaching them how to pose and etc aside from YT, some from Fstoppers too, and ultimately, they were such a sweet couple that they didn't need to try too hard at all.
I wanted to go for a natural look, so most of the colors are straight out of the camera. I did use the phone Remini App and enhanced the photo minus the colors since i cropped it, I waited for 30sec for the Ad to finish, and this is what I sent to them. I also developed an 11x14 plus frame to them as a gift.
Hoping to hit my luck again on this contest. Thank you so much Fstoppers!
