A little photoshopping

Can't hurt to retouch up old photos. I don't know how I lasted so long without this program? Anyways here are a few that I retouched up, and I must say.. Photoshop work really is the other half of digital photography.

Vanessa & Tien's Vietnamese style wedding ceremony (half)

So I need to confess I really didn't like the work I did here for Vanessa and Tien's wedding. There's a little complicated story that comes with this shoot. Vanessa actually hired another set of photographers and she was sweet enough to let me shoot for my porfolio. But honestly I was really just in their way and couldn't get the shots I wanted. Regardless it was a beautiful ceremony, (unfortunately you won't be able to see that beauty since I couldn't get many shots in :P) but it was definitely a learning experience. Here are some shots that I managed to salvage from my little selection. I was mainly disappointed in myself that I wasn't as prepared BUT lesson learned :)

Thuy and Ken's Wedding

So I had the opportunity to half-shoot a friends wedding (for the first time :D ) She had already hired a photographer but wanted me to help shoot since I'm still doing pro-bono work. Thuy is one of most beautiful brides I've seen! (trust me, the pictures don't do justice) Her and Ken are absolutely adorable. Unfortunately we didn't have time to do a real shoot of the wedding party since they ran short on time. Overall I had a great time. So lucky to have had the chance to shoot this day. Here's a few samples to highlight Thuy and Ken's day....
