Trying something new - Jo & Lee

I'm a big fan of trying new things when it comes to creating art from wedding and portrait images and this year I decided to add a series of darker images to the collection.

I took a series of shots at Jo & Lee's wedding with this idea in mind and I got what I was looking for.

This image is an example of the more artistic imagery I am looking for - and the beauty of this is that this shot took about 30 seconds to set up, 30 seconds to edit in Lightroom 2 and 60 seconds to perfect in Photoshop - two minutes.

I created a number of other images in a similar vein and am pleased with how they all turned out. Of course it really does help when the couple are as good looking as Jo & Lee and the wedding venue as beautiful as Ardington House, outside Wantage.

My next wedding is next Thursday when I'll be shooting Katharine and Simon and am very keen to create a similar theme.
