I know I say this a lot, but I would have to say that I had the most fun on this shoot with Pauline than on any other shoot I’ve done before. The day was perfect with no oppressive heat - it was very breezy. Crashing waves. Warm afternoon light. Sand all over my gear. Losing my balance and getting wet…but sticking my camera up in the air to save it from it’s mortal enemy: saltwater. Losing a PocketWizard (that I just got the day before) to a freak wave that went higher up the shoreline than normal…
Yes this was definitely one to remember.

“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.
