Making Good Photographs Look Great, Seriously…

Welcome to edition #13 of before and after post processing. Remember Chelsea & Jeremy? This couple totally rocked their wedding day so it’s only fitting to show you how we rocked their photos in post processing. We didn’t have to do much with this photogenic couple so let’s dive right in!!!

Dramatic – I remember looking at this photograph on my camera’s LCD and instantly getting an idea of how I would enhance. The brick wall, the embrace, the passionate kiss… I knew this photos deserved a more dramatic appeal. Using a custom developed brush, I touched up all the bricks with less exposure and more than double the contrast. Our natural effect was used for their skin tone, and now this photograph belongs in a magazine!

Lighting Correction – The church at which the ceremony was held was very typical with candescent lighting which produces a not so desirable orange tone in photographs. This fault tends to dull photographs and ruin the overall mood presented. In post processing we use a couple of techniques to correct this. First we adjust the overall temperature setting for the image then we carefully desaturate the orange tones until we get it just perfect. Results are as shown!
