My first real, paid, wedding gig

[Lin-z]

Well its actually my second wedding, but my first was like a last min shotgun, "because your family I'm doing this" type wedding. They paid me a little just for my time, but nothing big, so the pressure was not really there.

This weekend I had my first paid wedding for a stranger. Here are a few pictures from this weekend.

Here's my version of the "Just Married" shot... I am sorry for stealing this idea, but it is just too cute!

C&C welcomed! Thanks for looking. The entire gallery is on my site if you are interested in seeing more.

Thanks, Lindsi :cool:

Very nice! Increase the exposure/brightness of the first, apply a mild vignette to some of them, and consider the last phot in B&W or something like duotone dream (samples attached, PM me if you want me to take them down).

I think you did good

The last one may look quiet good with a toned b/w plus glow.

I also did that same photo in black and white. I have it in my gallery. I like the other tones also. Thanks.

The ring shot is very underexposed but can be opened up nicely in PS.

[Lin-z]

Better?

Bit far, you've lost details. Start again, open in photoshop, hit control-alt-~ to select highlights. Hit control-J to copy to new layer. Select background layer, adjust levels. Done :)

[Lin-z]

I will do that. Thanks for the tips!

Verty, it has taken me many years of heartache, pain and all night photoshop sessions to come up with this kind of look. My fingerprints are almost worn away from constant key bashing, my marriage is in tatters and I stand to loose my day job through lack of commitment. I'm reluctant to share such a secret after such personal sacrifice.....OK, in the name of wedding creativity and goodwill across the world.....here goes.....

1. Buy Kubotas creative tools 2
2. run action Modern Antique with glow
3. reduce glow a little to taste
4. save
5. drink beer.

Here's a version I did. I used Tims tip but used curves instead.

Just for fun I tried one more thing on it. Used a velvia action. May be too much for it. Opinions?
