Posted in Wedding

Hey all!! 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?

    Suzanne- hahah! Nope! Its good to be the odd one out. I’m glad you like it as is. 🙂

    Actually I like it a million times better without actions and effects. I think I am the odd man out!

    The art edits I do in PS. The actions that I love are all for PS, but LR is really nice & fast for basic color correction, exposure, etc. It makes editing really quick!

    What do I think? I think you are just amazingly talented! The picture was already great SOOC, but the next two stages were WOW!

    WOW! That’s pretty cool. I especially like how you take out the building and people

    Awesome! You do all that in LR? I have LR3 but have never used it. I do everything in PS! LOVE the result!! I should try to learn my LR!
