After a wedding has been photographed, I come home and edit thousands of images. Most weddings end up with between 1,000 and 1,400 images...and I edit EVERY single one. Or at least look at them individually to determine what changes I'd like to make. A few things I will always correct: White balance, exposure, contrast, straighten out horizon lines, crop as needed (I prefer to crop as I shoot), and mini photoshop makeovers. This blog post shows a few examples for white balance changes.

| Churches can be tricky...sometimes I'm not allowed to use flash. I always die a little inside when they tell me that, because I know I'll be stuck with an image like the one...BELOW. During this ceremony, I triggered my QFlash 3 times, not too much to be a distraction, but enough to capture pivotal moments. |

| Available light image. It will do the job, and I can make a few adjustments to get it just right...but the photo above is more what I had in mind. |
 |
| Original image...needs a little help in the computer. Room lights have given it a color cast, and it was underexposed a little, as well. |
 |
| The exposure was a little under, and the white balance is off. I changed both. |
 |
| Original white balance...yellow. True to lights being used in the room, but NOT true to color of actual TShirt being signed by guests. So, I change it. A simple change, but this means I am going thru each image one by one, making these changes for you. |
 |
| Ahhhhh. I feel better already! White balance has been changed to a more normal point. |
