I don't know if booking a photographer to shoot your engagement is romantic or creepy - but I like your photos.
It's a fine line at the best of times...
Yeah, I agree about that low-contrast colour thing; I always think of the little oval stickers that the labs used to put on your enprints when I see stuff like that...
I think that effect (plus a bit of gamma jibbling) is a reasonable approximation of how I see the world compared to normal vision. I really don't see the attraction.
But then, as a result of seeing the world like that, I'm strongly biased to high-contrast B&W.
I expect they'll be thankful for the B&W images a few years down the line.
