Congrats Tara and Troy - Cypress Hotel Wedding

Congrats Tara and Troy

Saturday we captured Tara and Troys wedding at the Cypress Hotel in Cupertino.  The Cypress hotel is a beautiful hotel to get married at, lots of great areas for photography and just a cool hotel.  I always get a kick out of the cheetah print and other fun animal prints all over the place.  They had a beautiful wedding, the day was just perfect.  Everyone had a blast at the reception, Los Gatos DJ did a great job keeping the dance floor full all night long!
We got some great shots of the day and will post them soon!

Post Production

When I work on my wedding images after the wedding the post production of the image is normally done just like I would have in the darkroom back in the day. I will spend a lot of time toning images to give them a very specific feeling or burning and dodging images. Here is a image I was working on today and really wanted a different more graphic feel to it. I really like all of the lines in the city background so made the image more into a line art piece. Let me know what you think:

Here is the image as I first envisioned it, a little bit desaturated and with a bit of a glow to the image:



and here is a little different version:



Everyone have a great week!
