I have been playing around with Karen and Jon’s wedding photos, and thought I would try something completely different. I can’t decide if I like it or if it is completely hokey, if it is too busy, and the backgound is distracting, or adds to the “story”
I think I will have to look at it for a while, and I know that it really only matters what Karen and Jon have to say about it, I would like to hear from you as well. What do you think?

Karen and Jon were married at St. Patrick’s Church where Jon attends service regularly, and Karen worn her mothers wedding dress, just slightly altered. And then there was the candy – jolly rancher candy, something they shared on their first date, and when Jon proposed to Karen he hid the ring in the candy for her to find!
I remember meeting Karen and Jon to talk about their wedding, and first hearing their story, and of these details. As they recounted them they would often look at each other and smile. These details have meaning for them, the memories and the feelings that go with these memories are part of their story, and bind them together. May they continue to add detail, happy memories and stories like this to their life together, that is my wish for them.

I am getting through their photos pretty quick, but I have to admit that I fell asleep after work and didn’t get as much done as I would have liked, still feeling a little jetlagged!
I am hoping the holiday hangover doesn’t last too long!

It was a joy to be a part of their day, and I am having fun all over again, so many great photos, so many great moments. I am sure that for Karen, Jon and their families so many great memories. Here they stand looking over the Sirroco Golf Course, and the Foothills of Alberta, not long before they go to meet their guests at the reception.

I am curious about so many details I think I will have to arrange lunch in the next couple of weeks, so I can hear all about their plans and expectations for the day! I need to get the names of those in their wedding party, and all the family names, as well as find out how many family portraits we need to make time for. There are so many details that are important to know about before the big day, I think lunch is definitely due!

Karen and Jon, engaged and soon to be married

They are excited about the wedding. Karen and I were talking about how much there is to do when planning a wedding. Thing to think about, people to talk to and co-ordinate, so many people and things to consider. Then I gave her one more………….
I asked her to think about how much time we would have between the wedding ceremony and the reception, and what order we should do the formal group/family and portrait shots, and of course the stickiest question, who is in what group, how many groups, and (my favorite) who in the family or wedding party can she give a list to, that will help me keep track of the groups and get them organized. Just something else to think about and talk to her family about.
I will meet Karen and Jon at the rehearsal, this is where I hope to meet everyone, and we are hoping to check out the locations for portraits before the reception.

I have been experimenting with different Photoshop actions and different combinations of actions. I like the partially desaturated image.
