Before and After
It was like a photographer's dream world with every toy imaginable. It was painful! I wish I had won the lottery this week so I could have gone crazy. The most fun booth was the Totally Rad Action guys. I'd been thinking about buying their actions for a while, and this clinched it for me.
I read a lot of other wedding photographers so I can keep up on the style that's hip right now, and right now brides are looking for artsy stuff, and these actions are the answer. I wasn't thrilled about it because I personally prefer regular old, not over-worked pictures. I like my pictures to look real, not surreal. But I do see why some people like these fun effects, so I figure I'll give it a shot.
And holy heck am I having a good time! Check out some of the pictures I've re-worked. What do you think, better or too much?

And one more that I'm pretty darn pleased with. I think I'm an Action convert...

On the bride I like the second one.. because you can see her face better. And I do like that the second groom one seems a little brighter but I have no idea otherwise. I LOVE the shoe shot. So cute!
That sounds so fun!
I love the shoes pic! Beautiful. I need to learn the manual settings on my new SLR!!! Photography can be so fun--I think I'm getting addicted to a new hobby! Agghhhh! :)
I love what you've done with the editing of these. The brightness is just where you need it.
I like how there seems to be a soft glow around the the brides dress, and around the groom.
And, of course, the shoe shot is totally clever!
Nice job!
