Hi Jim, thanks for the reply. Yep, I agree with you, however, in the pre-wedding meetings with the bride and groom they loved this look. I did show them both the standard "untouched" files along with PS'd ones in our online gallery review.
And you are 100% correct on making the albums.
It's funny with the last three weddings I've done this year everyone wants something completely different. The first set was my most previous and the bride simply wanted some color and black / white's. However, her mother and mother in law, wanted "creative" pictures. Therefore, the wide range. So the Mother's albums are very contemporary while the flush mount wedding album is going to be a mostly b&w album. The middle set of pictures was "very" creative but mostly done is b&w. I've known the bride for years and this suites her to a "T"! And then the last set was kinda a mixture again.
I guess one thing I've learned this year is that consistentcy is for the quality of the pictures, not so much for the style. You've really got to be flexible to a point. I mean, I'm not going to change my style of photography, but definetley have to change my post processing somewhat. But that's fun too. It never gets mundane this way.
I guess some photog's do stick to one type of style and that's it, but I do enjoy mixing it up some.
Thanks again for the comments. They are greatly appreciated.
