This was our last wedding post from 2008, what a great way to end the year! Sharon + Jonathan were married on December 6th, you may recall their sweet faces from the engagement session I posted a few months prior.
Sharon and her lovely bridesmaids had their beautiful hair and make-up done by the ever so talented Nicole DeAnne. I am always so pleased with Nicole's work, especially to watch it last throughout the whole day and still look as fresh as it did when the day began.
For Sharon and Jonathan's portraits we had originally planned on going to a secondary location, but we arrived and found this amazing church made out of rad concrete walls, we decided to stay at the church and I am super pleased with how everything turned out.
My favorite shot of the day!
The Korean Tea Ceremony, I love the outfits!

oooohh! I saw that Kanye glasses ring shot at your house and was waiting for the final product. So rad! I totally would have done it differently though...and it would've sucked my way. Was that real grass? Did you feel it with your hands? It looks nice. I saw a lawn that looked like that once and I touched it, but fainted soon after from exposure to unknown grass origin. You too?

We have been getting so many comments and emails from other fellow photographers who are curious to how we get "the look" we get, so we've decided to post some before and afters with some action recipes from the coolest action sets out there from the TOTALLY RAD ACTIONS!
If you haven't purchased these actions to enhance your digital images we HIGHLY recommend getting them! I think the reason why we love them so much is because they allow us to get sort of a vintage film look without loosing the quality of our colors and resolution. They also allow us to combine as many actions we want to get "the look" we are trying to go for.
The following two Before-and-After's where created using both Totally Rad Actions! andTRA2 - THE REVENGE.
*Before-and-After set #1 recipe for color(I also just realize that the After is on the left and should be on the right, oops! You'll get the idea anyhow):
1. Yin/yang (painted in desired areas of dodge and burn)
2. Bullet Tooth (opacity to 25%)
3. Get Faded (opacity to 40%)
4. Warm it up Kris! (opacity to 20%)
5. Boutwell Magic Glasses
*Before-and-After set #2 recipe for black and white:
1. Desaturate image prior to starting recipe
2. contrast (opacity to 50%)
3. Yin/Yang (painted in desired areas of dodge and burn)
4. Detroit (opacity to 50%)
5. Grainstorm
6. Boutwell Magic Glasses
