Are you hiring a person with a camera or a professional photographer to capture your most special day. Remember one of the only things you have left at the end of the day is your photos and, if they are no good because your good friend has a really good camera but no idea, then every time you open that album you are going to be reminded, you made a mistake. Below are two images from a recent wedding I done, where one is a typical bridal party setup and, the other a grab shot. I have shown you a before and an after version, to show you how a professional can/should present his/her work. Making sure your day is forever special.

This is the after

This is the before.

Again the after image.

Before.

Ok all you budding photogs here is number one in a series of Before and After images I’m going to use as basic examples.

Since the beginning of photography, finishing has been in existence. It used to be carried out in the dark-room on glass negatives  all in the achievement of perfection, today we use the computer and a whole pile of software.

Why am I telling you this? Because I strongly believe that an image is not professional unless it is FINISHED and, I’m not talking about trying to fix a bad image, I’m talking about FINISHING. Simple steps to make a great image perfect and professional.

Finishing is what makes the difference between a professional and an amateur, it’s how we add value.

Before, Emma a beautiful bride, a lovely image.

After, stunning.

Before, Kristyn full of laugh’s.

After, Full of sparkle.
