Okay… so this is a dual purpose post. In all of our packages with Valo Weddings we offer a DVD with the proofs for you to keep. If you want to print them, put them on Facebook, or store them for your kids, you can do that. Sometimes I get asked what the difference is between a proof and a retouched photo. A proof photo is not a bad photo by any means, it is just a photo that hasn’t realized its full potential.
All of the proofs are color corrected and have a little contrast and saturation added to them, but they don’t have the special Valo touch that we put on all of the prints that are ordered from us or in your album. Post processing doesn’t make a good shot, but it does make a good shot better.
Chad and Holly were a great couple to shoot because they were up for anything and were both looking fantastic. It is amazing what type of art we can make when the couple trusts your eye and judgment. I had so many good shots from this wedding I didn’t know which to post, so I just took two. Hope you enjoy it.

Model: Fresh
Venue: Bucketworks
Date: Saturday 1/24/09
I am all over the place… I am super randomly editing stuff. I really should go through it more logically, but I don’t. Oh well…
Fresh is from Chi Town. He came up with a few friends to the shoot for two days. He was lots of fun to work with and up for whatever. When I suggested shooting outside, he was all over it. 15 degrees? Sure. Wife beater and tie? Doesn’t matter… Work the camera? Yup. The funny part about this is that we had tons of space inside a warm building, but me, being the anti-building guy said, “Lets shoot outside, it will be fun.” Not a good idea in WI in the winter. My hands burned when I came in from the cold (cant shoot and wear gloves), and I am sure it didn’t help the cold that I was nursing that whole weekend.
Luckily we were able to pull off some shots that rocked my face off… Check it out… so fresh and so clean…I have more photos coming soon, but for now here is a little somethin somethin…

I wish I could display these at full res, there is some crazy retouching and detail going on, but it is harder to see in the smaller version. Oh well… you get the jist.
