Here comes the radiant bride. Down the aisle and into her father's arms. The sun peeks through mahogany wooden doors, casting an angelic glow on her flawless dress; a veil covering the silver droplets leaving her eyes. Friends and family align the walkway winking and waving well wishes as she walks to greet her groom. Going in for the kiss he lifts her veil, holds her delicate face in his hands, whispers to the soft center of her lips, "I love you" and they kiss - - captured.
Perfect right? Almost....
Perfect right? Almost....
This day was perfect and it was theirs. Does it matter that generations later can experience this day as if they were there? Does it matter that her father walked her down the aisle and died two years later? Does it matter that years have gone by and took their youth with them? Does it matter that the dress she wore was her mother's and had been preserved for that day? That beautiful tear stained bride with the raccoon eyes. The bride with traces of makeup on her dress from an Aunt who hugged her. The bride with lipstick stained teeth.
This is where Photoshop image editing comes in.
Why should a few imperfections destroy a perfectly good shot? It doesn't have to! The purchase of image editing is an investment to sustain the memories of important events and family photographs. I've seen great wedding photographs with beautiful scenery and pose compositions. However, those small imperfections can annilihate what the picture could have been. A run in panty hose, a tooth missing, a bothersome mole, a receding hairline or age detail in the face are just some of the things that can be edited out and can make a dramatic difference in your photographs.
A lady once told me that she and her family decided to take a family photo. During the time, her mom was battling Cancer and it was taking a toll on her physical appearance. When their pictures came back, she couldn't help but notice that her mom looked sickly. She asked the photographer to Photoshop the picture to make her mom look younger and healthier. She's grateful for image editing as the photographer brought back to her the mom she knows.
Not long after the shoot her mom passed away. She told me she was happy she'd invested in image editing because she didn't want the family photo to depict her mother's illness. She wanted to remember her mother's spirit. She wanted to salvage her mother's beauty; the beauty she'd come to know all of her life. The beauty that would be treasured for many generations to come.
