I traveled to the great state of PA for this beautiful wedding which took place in Ligonier.  It was at an historic inn which created a great setting. 

…the piano hands…Mark Schultz.

Here is a quasiHDR image created from a single RAW file.

(For the photographers out there): The original exposure is at the bottom of this post.  Basically, I created three jpegs of various exposure adjustments from a single raw file and merged them as an HDR in photoshop.  However, Danielle and baby didn’t look so great so I added them as another layer using masks.  Finally, a couple of adjustment layers for select areas and wallah!

Here are a couple of preview pictures of the Schuessler/Ruta wedding ceremony which took place at the Estate House in Cyprus Grove park. Beautiful location + beautiful decorations + beautiful people = fun time for photographer! To see the highlights of the whole event click here.

Some preparation pictures which took place at Color Lab in Apopka as well as the Estate House in Cyprus Grove Park.

This is one of my favorite pictures; it was taken moments after the ceremony ended and the wedding party assembled in the Estate house in Cyprus Grove. I’m not sure if it’s the way the moment stands out, the colors, the composition or a combination of all three, but whatever it is I like to look at it. Use the comments section to let me know if you agree, or if I’m a little crazy.

After spending so much time redoing the website it was nice to get behind the camera and do what I like! This session was at Crane’s Roost in Altamonte Springs.  Here is a sneak peek for Apopka High Senior Ally…

More from this set later.  Congrats Ally!
