In photography nothing ever beats good composition. A photo can be horribly bad from a technical perspective, but good composition can always hide that. That said, it doesn’t mean well composed images can’t be improved.

Below are two versions of the same image taken from a wedding album I’m working on at the moment. The first image is after a basic conversion from RAW, while the second image has been worked in the “digital darkroom”. Firstly it was warmed up, then given a glow (weddings are meant to be fairytales remember?), and then a heavy vignette coupled with blurred edges was added to give it a bit of an old school feel and to bring the focus to the groom’s hand around the bride’s waist.
