Ryan and Julie’s Engagement Photos
How fun are these pictures?
Ryan and Julie are two fun people, so it only makes sense that we’d visit a lot of cool places and have a great time while shooting their engagement pictures. It was awesome to get to know Ryan and Julie better, and I got to see a lot of Austin that I hadn’t seen before. It would have been hard to recommend places to go for good “Austin-esque” pictures since I’m so new to town, but Julie knew all the spots. This was definitely an Austin-inspired photo shoot. She had a lot more good ideas too, but there was just no way we could fit them all into one afternoon. You can see more photos in my Facebook album here – Ryan & Julie. Congrats to both of you!
The Columbia Yacht Club
Hey everyone! I apologize for not posting more images recently, but I hope you enjoy this one. I sure do. For a little background – this picture was taken during an afternoon that Katie and I spent walking around downtown Chicago last summer. I think it was either the 4th of July or the day before. It was a really hot afternoon, and I really wanted to take one of these boats out on the lake. Anyway, I didn’t bring my Nikon with me, so we ended up taking all the pictures that day with her Canon point and shoot. This picture goes to show you that not all good photographs have to be taken with an expensive camera/lens setup. As long as you can frame a shot and get good lighting, it’s all about using the editing tools at your disposal to obtain an end result.
Below i have posted a two-image slideshow that demonstrates this picture before and after, which I thought might be interesting to everyone. I used Adobe Lightroom 3.0 to create the “after” image seen above and in the slideshow below. I’d love to hear your thoughts, criticisms, and/or questions in the Comments section below. Remember, almost all of the images you see on my blog are also for sale on RedBubble!
