Abbie and Alex we're so frikking cute together! Our first stop for their e-session was Go Karts and Putt-Putt Golf. Gotta losen 'em up. 2nd stop was the beach, and the big storm followed!

Loads more on the blog



The storm was coming, and we only had about 15 minutes to shoot. Had to act fast.





The clouds we're just starting to cover up the sunset. Perfect timing.









200 2.8L - Love my prime's.



By now the rain was starting to fall, but I just wanted one more shot.

Thanks!

I did for a few minutes...until I got nervous about the rig being soaked...I don't have a sealed body. One day...one day. The videographer that was tailing me for our new promo vid had to bail too...I'm sure he got some great stuff as well. Can't wait to see it.

This is the ONLY pro about Florida weather...everyday at 5 it rains....which does kind of bite for weddings. Especially my friend's Chris and Erin who got nailed Sat evening! It was a wet one for all.

No problem. I attached a screen snip of the RAW file in LR. I really do not do much to my photos, as I am a big believer in getting most of the work done in camera. The only thing that was done to this shot was 50% Fuji Snappit from Kabuto, and 10% Vibrant Glow. I work on files in LR, spiffy up in PS, then stack it with the original layer in LR.

Sometimes the Fugi Snappit action will alter the WB, so I like to pump it back down in LR for final tweaking before exporting.

Hope this helps. Happy to share snips from other raw riles as well.
