Great images, very well done. (These are some good looking people, which must have helped!)

How do your clients come to you? Can you describe your marketing methods (although I'm sure your work speaks for itself)?

Oh I agree, didn't mean for it to come across as poutting down photographing weddings per se, I just think your talent could take you to a higher strata of earnings and recognition. You're photos would absolutely fit right into any high quality glossy I could care to mention.

They have "it".

Nice shots and gear. Like the bokeh on the tabletop shot. Did you shoot any HD video on the 5DII?

Very nice, Raymond. I take it the video was shot with the 24-70mm lens? Been contemplating the 24-70 vs. 24-105. Just wish the latter was a 2.8.

I really like your style!

Can you describe your post-processing process & your workflow? Are you a Lightroom or Aperture advocate?

What's funny is that your very nice equipment has precious little to do with your excellent images. "You must have a really nice camera!" Sort of like saying that Springsteen must have a really nice guitar.

Same as complimenting to Gordon Ramsey he has nice Pans

Good tools helps you to get the shot, but the photographer will need to know HOW to get the shot in the first place.

I do 100% of my processing in LR (even though i have a iMac). I merely adjust a few things, fix horizon tilt, a tiny bit of cropping when needed (a lot of my shots posted so far are as they are framed in camera), adjust colour balance, exposure, contrast etc...nothing out of the ordinary, and nothing KFC secret recipe about it at all. Although I think my iMac has helped, compared to my OLD screen, this has opened my eyes ! But i am not giving the screen credit, that's like saying nice plates

Yup. and I think it was the near 70mm end, hence the slight wobble.

Great work, Raymond (nice to see another DVDF-er over here).

Well, that lens is pretty heavy to hold still. So if lighting is not an issue, the IS on the 24-105 may be the way to go.

Lighting is ALWAYS an issue at weddings
