I had one more picture from Jen + Micah’s wedding I wanted to post, so I thought I’d do a before/after, just for fun.

Original SOOC (with a little sharpening):
Looks good, right? Nice composition, the couple looks happy, I like how their arms are positioned, her dress looks good.

Then I give it a little love in Lightroom:

Warmed it up a bit, added some contrast, and this is what they will see as a proof in their gallery.

But, for my art edits, I like to add a little stylized touch:

Ran a few of my favorite actions, cloned out the people & the building as they were just distracting, and added some selective blur.

What do you think?

So fun. Except for the fact that we didn’t bring enough sleepers for the Smunch. She was cold and would keep waking up unless I put her in my sleeping bag. And then I wasn’t in it, and I was cold. Lovely.

To top it off, I have a nephew that’s only 3 days younger than my baby. Can you imagine how much fun they’re going to have together?!

I’m still not sure how he made it out of bed. I’m so proud of him. I believe it was ~108 miles, and he rode it in about 6 hours. WAY awesome. And, to top it off, today he crossed the 1000 mile mark for the summer.  Hooray!
