It's hard to show print quality after reducing a photo so radically in photoshop - for publishing on the internet.

Mis Rothenthol said I did no posed photo's. I really don't like to admitt that I do pose so many photo's - but here we go. OK - I admit it.

It's so funny she says I did no posed photo's.

there was the basic shot "cliff hanger" high noon. I made no exposure mistakes. Imagine this location on an average day - much worse.

I also found natural light - the only place. I arrived 1 hour early - no couple - I waited and checked out the situation. They were actually sleeping up above - not at this location.

I never ask for money up front - at least in this case. They were finished and paid me after I had done all requests. She makes it sound like I arrived and asked for cash - totally not true. I was paid after I finished all requests - no doubt.

She was such a problem I did extra editing on her video and gave her all the some 100's of images - no extra charge. She didn't even pay the $36.00 for the release.

She started the clothing thing - about me. I was dressed better - who cares. what about some Women in a Veil and Wedding dress - no excuss about a missed wedding- it's a Renewal. She was dressed weird not me.

Actually to this day I can post 100 + great photo's - as I look at them tonight. No problem with her video - that we know. I remember I sent a copy of her video to the Minister. When I was making the photo's and video I felt good about it.

It just goes to show - Do A-Bay where we have such good lighting and backgrounds.

I wish this board would let me know when there is a complaint. It doesn't seem right to publish total BS without me knowing. In my business i can show the photographs and video. I am not some new or weird photographer.

I have more stories than you can imagine. I have actually spent most of my life shooting weddings.

I guess having a complaint board is just fine. I get most of my weddings via happy couples. Just like in a small town - people talk.

So let me talk too.

here we go - Where are the none posed photo's ? the shadows ? What is the truth ?

why does a girl dress with a veil for a renewal ? Is she somewhat sideways ? She had a wedding some 10 years ago already. No problem for me - really. whatever.

I never collected money from her in advance - it's a lie - flat out .

My shirt and pants where clean, pressed when I arrived. All white cotten in case it's a hot day.

It's true I often bring my Wife. Before we had kids she used to come to the beach all the time. Now even more but you might only see her for a second. I don't recomend the cliff location.

Why is it the photographers fault. The photo's and video look fine to me.

I charged some $400.00 for photography and video. One of my camera bags cost more than that.

It is true that as I looked around - I wanted to avoid making bad images.

Now that she has complained - I'm happy I didn't make any bad images. She couold rub them in my face.

A-Bay is much better for lighting and backgrounds.

Ok - do some shots look unposed ?

I hate to admit sometimes I pose couples. Actually I've photographed more weddings - if I said the number you wouldn't believe me.

it's not 4, 000 weddings it's not 5, 000 weddings - I've never done a wedding where I didn't pose the couple - but we don't want it to look that way.

Really we can all see the above photo's are posed. what is she talking about. Where are the bad shadows ?

I had little choice for lighting - can't use inside the house - off limits by the owner - who is standing there watching.
It's not an excuse - check the eyes - the natural light I found there.

Also I might add - since she brought up the clothing thing is - I've never seen a renewal where the Women wore a veil. It's a renewal - and during my 20 plus years of doing renewals - I've never seen the Women in a veil. OK the white dress - I guess.

It's a Renewal - not a wedding. I love Renewals.

I am confused how she can bad mouth me and my family so easy on this site. Maybe it's a good thing. But who checks what is right. Like how do I even know ?

So let use it to show more photo's I guess.

I think I have a photo with the shirt I was wearing. Also my pants were Ralph Loren ( no doubt as I remember) white cotten. This photo was when I had a day off - in shorts - same shirt. I had 1, 000 of these shirts made.

Normally if I'm driving to a new location I'd change into my wedding cloths around the corner or so. My shirt and pants are washed and ironed. I would carry them in a plastic cloths thingy. I shower or bath before each wedding. It's my rutine.

To go futher I rarely touch any of my subjects - as most Pros do the same. If something needs adjusting I'll have the groom or Minister do it.

Anyway - now that I can post photo's let me go back and post at least one more. This location was difficult but a nice lucky day.

Aloha,

I am Kris Anderson Photographer. I tryed to attach a wonderful photo of this girls renewal - but it's not working here. I reduced it to 47 K - as always - should be easy.
I'll post it at http://www.konawedding-blog.com --- on the cliff.

They had their renewal on a cliff above the ocean - not recommended by me at all.

Back in 2007 and 2008 I used to wear my custom made white delux cotton shirt - I bought 1, 000 of them and sold out by now - except for a few. I used to wash those shirts so they were really white - way cool cotton. My pants were White cotten desiner - as I remember - at least $110.00 pants.

I have never had to go to a wedding with sad looking cloths - that's for sure.

I have also done many many Jewish Weddings.

As I remember she paid me $416.00 - not allot by any means. She has some 150 phto's and a cool video - on the cliff.

Note that she doesn't say my photography or video was bad. Every exposure was right on. She selected the cliff location. Something about shadows ? I don't understand. it was high noon. I can't control the sun at noon - go to A-Bay then.

I can easy select many of her photo's for advertising if I wanted. I just don't like that location. You can see the photo's look awesome. The problem was - one background - no alternative lighting.

As a wedding photographer for so many years - we get some stuff like this. However - all my work can stand for itself. I made no mistakes in this case - not to say I've never made a misake. Rare nowdays for sure.

I'll go and post a photo of the "Cliff Renewal " at:
http://www.konaweddings-blog.com
A place to dicuss weddings in Hawaii.

I used to see some couples unable to deal with a CD with 150 images ready for printing on it. It's so easy to make prints - for a lifetime. I also archive everything - just as in this case.

I use MPIX.COM .29 cents a print with color corection - kodak endura paper. Even walMart has the nice machines - so easy.

My exposures are usually near perfect as you can get.

Get ready - now I have 2 kids. Often my Wife will come to the beach - not the wedding.

If anyone is interested I can publish all the photo's in number order. I am not afraid to show everything I did that day - or any date.

Actually she picked the location - not me. Also I'll bet my cloths cost more than her Husbands - who cares ?
