  • You’re right! The mall, the couple, and your photos look beautiful! Love all the yummy bokeh!

  • That last shot is killer.

  • they look like they were having a blast. great set!

  • Amazing photos Sam! What did you do wtih #7 to get that effect?

    #11 and #14 are my faves.

      glad you asked 🙂 i’m still working on it, but it’s a combination of ryan brenizer’s composite type stuff and bokeh panorama stuff. though used for a completely different effect. i’m kind of waiting to see what people think about it. certainly isn’t in everyone’s “taste” i’d imagine.

  • beautiful work…the first frame is the killer shot!

  • I love when you can tell someone is IN LOVE. Awesome photos. The effect on #7 definitely had me staring at it. Way cool.

  • LOVE the colors your getting! Awesome shots!

    Sam, words can’t express how much I love these pictures. I’m beyond thrilled!! They are so beautiful. I can’t wait for you to shoot our wedding. Thank you so much!!

  • Fantastic. I’ve always wanted to go to the National Mall. Great images. That one effect had me feeling like turning on some Pink Floyd! Ha!

  • Fantastic images Sam. Was that a stereo/3D type image I saw? Getting ready for the next generation of monitors already? 🙂

  • I love the genuine love and laughter in these. Simply wonderful job bringing out the beauty in this gorgeous couple!!

  • These are awesome! So much happiness and emotion in these and it looks like you captured this couple perfectly (and we don’t even know them! :D).

    Digging the crazy super-color processing you did there. Normally I don’t like heavy processing but for this couple and their emotions and the way you did it made me a believer. 🙂

  • Beautiful session – that first shot is epic!!
