I was finally able to get together with this awesome couple. We first met back in June about doing a session together and it finally materialized last week. Here's a few from the set.

Are they? Your gear would have me believe differently. Go with what you believe....it's not 'shopped...enhanced a bit. I shot these all wide open with my 135. I tweaked the expose and saturation a bit and added a small amount of gaussian blur with opacity at 20-25. Body: Canon 5DmkII│Canon M50

The added blur in 4 works for me, it really helps cut out the couple from all of the people in the background and with the watermark, works well. My junk

rrblint Listen! .... do you smell something?  More info | Great shots, lovely couple. Lose the blur, it ruins the natural bokeh of the 135, but no the couple will never notice the difference, only we picky photographers notice things like that. Mark

I normally don't mess with it, just felt that this background was a little too busy (espeically with all the people walking around) so I wanted to soften it a just a bit and smooth out the hard lines created by the crowd. Here's one side-by-side.  Body: Canon 5DmkII│Canon M50

20-25 on the blur is a little strong.
