I flew to Atlanta last weekend and shot this great couple.

Just tinkering this morning and am curious what you guys think.

My choice is the first without the small image of the couple at the bottom.

Of the second I like the blurred background, but the main image doesn't work for me. Some fill flash might have helped for the faces, but this way there is to much shadow.

That's my personal opinion

I like the second except for the shadows on the faces. The expressions on their faces in #1 look to me more like a funeral announcement than a wedding announcement. ...... You know after being married for over 20 years I think maybe the picture in #1 IS more appropriate.

Can we vote for #3?

Okay, this is what I mean. I like the first one, except the tiny image of them kissing in the lower left (I thought it was a hole in the paper at first) bugs me a bit. The text might be a bit too transparent as it seems a tiny bit hard to read the date line.

The second one has a nice simple layout and is certainly a different look. I like the wavy look on it. I'm not a fan of the image on the left though. I'd try and get the image form the first one and merge it in there.

Anyway, there are some thoughts and ideas and hopefully sparks the final product and you post what you all go with.

The small pic of the couple in the first shot appears to be part of a cpr manual, I'd remove, it's still great without it.

We did take out the small one and replace it with another. Changed the font and brightened it a bit. I'll post the final once we order them.

They chose the image, I like it as well...it is the "back" of the card.
