Project: Retouching a Friend's Wedding Photos

Weddings are probably one of the most important days in anyone's life. Unfortunately things don't always go as planned with weddings. Sometimes it's things we have control over, other times it's not, but either way we can be disappointed and/or frustrated by whatever doesn't/didn't go as planned.

When one of my good friends reached out to me about editing her daughter's wedding photos, and explained to me the issue behind the request, I was more than happy to help.

Up to this point, I had been focused on family portraits, action sports, and nature photography, and had never shot or retouched a wedding; but having committed to shooting two weddings, I thought not only would I be able to help out my friends, but that it would also be a great learning experience for me.

Here are a few of the Original/Edited photos

Retouching these photos provided me an awesome challenge. Not only did I learn a lot, but it also gave me some ideas and a lot to think about for when I photograph a wedding.

Here are a few more photos from the wedding.
