Sneak Peek - Rebecca & Randy’s Wedding

2009-07-04-161-colorpopSo, this past weekend I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to shoot the wedding of Rebecca and Randy, two awesome folks who weren’t even planning on having a photographer! They did end up deciding to open the event to myself and another photographer trying to really get into the industry, and I am so thankful they did.

They couldn’t have been a better couple to have as your first wedding clients - totally relaxed, laid back, and fun. Their wedding had a very country western feel, right down to the cowboy boots worn by all the major players of the ceremony - even the pastor was in cowboy gear! It was a small, short but very lovely ceremony, and a really fun reception.

Despite the various mini-mishaps throughout the day, we were lucky enough to not get the rain that seemed to hit every other litte town around us, and everything went smoothly. I’m work feverishly to get the photos all edited for them, but I thought I’d post a sneak peek for all to see. Enjoy!

Little Pink Shoes

2009-05-31-084-vintageWhen I do a shoot, I usually try to pick 3-4 photos to play with in Photoshop as a way to learn various techniques, and to try and imitate the “look” of photographers I admire. This particular shot I wasn’t too happy with in it’s original form, mainly because my settings weren’t quite right to get the focus level I wanted. So I decided to see what else I could do with it.

It took a little while and some trial-and-error, but I eventually came out with this. I used a couple of actions from CoffeeShop plus textures and other effects I did myself. Overall I like the look, and it was a fun learning experience.
