Photos by Jeremy Breningstall.
On a weekend afternoon in fall, dozens if not hundreds of engaged couples descend upon Qingdao's beaches, with photographers, lighting handlers and prop assistants in tow, to have formal wedding portraits taken against the beautiful backdrop of the Yellow Sea. Here you can glimpse a few photos of the process (also artfully captured in Sexy Beijing's "Weddings Gone Wild" episode and alluded to the last time we went to Qingdao).




the compositions are fantastic, siezed the moment really well. however the use of the shadow/highlight in ps is way over the top. the halos around most people is distracting, and everyone's face is mangled. i have to ask; was the the lighting really poor?
