Janeane: Just Because

I've been playing around with my blog lately, now you will get bigger and better pictures :)

This is actually my new sister-in-law :) we went downtown (a few weeks ago) to take some pictures for her photography website. It was a rainy humid day, but I think we got some awesome ones for her :) Go check out her site if you like: janeanesphotodesigns.com

Sarah + Cory

I had the honor of shooting Sarah and Cory's wedding this past weekend. It was my first wedding shoot and it was such a BLAST! Mother Nature didn't necessarily cooperate with their plans, but it turned out so beautifully.

Hope you are having fun in VEGAS guys! :)

Sarah's Grandmother gave her a beautiful ring as her something old - it was gorgeous!

By the time they had their first look, the rain stopped and gave us some beautiful sunlight :)

such an expressive couple - ha! :)

a little laughing :)

and this little flower girl was such a treat all night :)

Congratulations Sarah and Cory!!

COLOR VERSION

these were my first changes:
- fixed levels
- bumped up saturation
- used the burn tool on the mulch grounding
- added lens correction: vignette (Filter>Distort>Lens Correction - Vignette)
- made a mask and erased the vignette off of her skin
- created an overlay layer and "painted" in her eyes to make them pop a brighter blue
- played with photo's contrast (Image>Adjustments>Brightness&Contrast)

DESATURATED VERSION

All I did was:
- took Color version
- opened saturation tool (Image>Adjustments>Hue&Saturation) took down to about 50% saturation
- added a much darker and closed in vignette

SEPIA VERSION
All I did was:
- took COLOR version
- went to Image>Adjustments>Black&White and added a redish tanish tint (tint checkbox and slider at bottom of menu)
- added a much darker and closed in vignette
- added a little noise - Filter>Noise>Add Noise
