Briony: wow another beautiful shoot and beautiful couple. i love all of these! my faves are the bench and the blue wall :) Briony (31/01/09, 09:02)
Sarah :: Wedding Hub Event Planning: I love the blue wall background. STUNNING couple! (31/01/09, 09:11)
Rog: Great color with these photos Sloan-EE-bay-BEE's. Sometimes I try to make a construction walk way into something beautiful like you did, but I fail becuase My right arm is shorter than my left by about 8 inches. Don't know exactly how that matters seeing as my left hand is about 8 inches longer than my right hand, so it should all even out right? Sorry for the TMI, you're just so easy to type to. (31/01/09, 10:03)
Meg: You had me with that first shot! Nice job guys- these are beautiful!!! (31/01/09, 10:34)
Brandi: Adorable couple! Love her pink coat too! (31/01/09, 11:15)
