Congratulations Marion and Joseph!
One of the best moments that one can experience in life. It was an honor to be invited to come and document this special moment tonight for two good friends of mine who just flew in from Los Angeles, CA this morning. Marion used to live up the street from me - we went to high school together, and Joseph has helped me a lot in giving my photography exposure in the NYC/LA area as part of CEmuzik. Capturing moments like this is what makes photography very fulfilling and why I will never grow tired of it - I love what I do.

“I am a Photoshop wizard (omg).”
I took this photo when the sun was still pretty bright overheard. You can see the before (top photo) and after (bottom photo) of recovering a photo that suffers from a bit of overexposure. The reason for this is to properly expose for the couple..but the trade-off is slight overexposure for most of the scene.
Simple burning and dodging, and “spot healing” tool magic to remove distractions can greatly improve a photo that might otherwise seem unrecoverable.
