Hi James,
This is a very casual affair and the picture meet that sensibility. The first picture as actually a diptych of two images, in each either the man or woman is seen from the back of the other. It's not a composition I'm used to seeing, rather like the sequence of shooting in a movie, but then we don't see the backs.
The second picture, at last, shows the two in a set up together as lovers, but discretely, with him partially lying down and she's posed in his arms.
the third is a puzzle. Such a picture, with the main subject blurred out is more like a and advanced philosophical image I might see 8 meters tall in the
Venice biennale and everyone would say how deep it was!
The last picture is again unusual. we look past a man out of focus to the betrothed woman seeming somewhat awkward. The style again is new to me.
Where does the idea of having one person blurred and the other in focus come from?
The main thing about the couple is that they are so much in love and that the pictures will be great mementos. Still, I have reservations about the style. I wonder whether you might b e able to assist a wedding photographer if it's your intention to do this professionally. Of course, it could be that this style is current. However, not being better educated, if this was done in Los Angeles, the couple might have questions about paying.
