With the holidays over, and the busy spring season still ahead, this is usually the time of year I can get backup work done and experiment with new things. I'm going to post some older weddings in the coming weeks, a greatest hits of 2008 as it were, to show some of the weddings I really liked but didn't have time to post before. I'll start with a wedding from early in the year, Barbara and Tim had what I'd describe as a traditional style wedding at the Ursuline Chapel in New Orleans and the Balcony in Kenner. They are a very sweet couple, and their wedding had a timeless feel to it, which I thought would be perfect to use a new technique I've been working with to give photos an aged, antique look to them. I'm always looking for ways to improve the photos I take, as I feel actually taking the photos is only half of what can be done. The other half of the art is after I take the photos. When I make a wedding album, I use different techniques to make the photo express the moment better. This makes the albums really special and unique to each wedding. Anyway, I really like this photo aging technique on Barbara and Tim's wedding photos. I'm looking forward to working it into some of my upcoming albums I'm designing.
