Beautifully done. I love your artistic retouches on these- for a second, you made me want to go jumping into the beautiful water.... oh wait!!! hahaha

I love the perisol pictures and the reflection. Great job as always!

OhMY Goodness! These photos are exquisite! What lovely girls, you captured some great photos here. I can't even choose a favorite. If I had to I'd say the last one, those smoldering eyes. WOW. You guys did it again!
I went to April's blog, she has some really cool photos. Magazine like. Keep her in this field.

Nat said...

Oh my! They are all gorgeous images, but #7 took my breath away! It's AMAZING!!! I wish I could have been there :(

Eddie Bojorquez (Studio 512) said...

These look great, dude. I like the PP on this one much more than in part one. Their skin looks really good too! Keep 'em coming (I'll hopefully have a full batch up soon).

Kelly Park Photography said...

Wow! These are amazing! Love the reflection picture. It needs to be blown up on a huge canvas. I also really like the one of the bride on the piano pulling the groom with the tie...very HOT!

Anonymous said...

Great PP on this set......love the third image....the Bride with the red sash....that is absolutely amazing....It could go on the cover of some Wedding Magazine....
Great job David and Kim!!!! Your an amazing pair....

Staja Studios said...

That shot with the graffiti wall rocks! The eyes really draw you in and the wall adds some funk. Once again, great job.

WOW! Beautiful images! You guys are Rockin it! I think we are going to go with Aislinn, I think it's very unique!

Anonymous said...

Wow!
I know others have said the same thing, but that's what I just keep saying as I go through these.
You can pick up more prop guy jobs, but NEVER put down the camera.
When is the next trip? I so want to go next time.

Dawn Malone said...

Melissa Koehler said...

I don't know how to tell you this...but, YOU'RE kind of a BIG deal!!!!

Awesome shots!!!
I think we need to plan a photo outing. That would be fun!
Oh, Kim!! When are we going to the movies girl? A funny movie perhaps?:) You name the place and time and I will be there (if it fits my schedule) :)
Big hugs!

Hi, it's MARQU, MUA from the Salton Sea shoot. You are so talented and caught so many wonderful images. I have put your work up in my 3 places, website, myspace and model mayhem. I just wanted to say thank you and I would jump at an opportunity to do something with you again. Jessie feels the same way. We'd do another shoot with you in a heart beat.

I really like the shots that show the makeup. I will be loading another of yours soon. I will also put a link to your website from mine if you'd like-your site is so fun to visit. Love that song, by Bono??? I need to get that song!
Thank you again!
MARQUI

It's funny. I *almost* commented on this the other night and was just lazy because it was late. Then I saw the comment you left me and I was like, "Dangit, why didn't you comment?!" So now you are making me add to my list what my husband always tells me "Do or say things when you think about them." He knows I regret not doing one or the other too many times. So anyway, some of these images are just INSANE!!!! Just gorgeous! I tried counting to tell you which ones are favorites, but there seriously are too many!

And p.s. - thanks for inspiring me to *take the time* to say how I feel at the time. Thanks for the comment you left. :)

kymberli q. said...

I *almost* left a comment on this entry the other night and was too tired because it was late and just didn't do it. When I saw that you left a comment on my "list" entry, I was like "Dangit, why didn't you just take the time to leave the comment?!" My husband says I always regret not saying or doing things and the time I think about them and he is right. :/

So....what I wanted to tell you if I wasn't such a lazy bum the other night...these images are INSANE!!!! I wanted to count the ones that were my favorite and tell you which ones, but there are so many that just rock that I couldn't! They're just GORGEOUS!!

Anyway, thank you for the comment and thank you for the newest item I'm adding to my list tonight. :) Oh, and I LOVE the Bono goal! :)
