Rachael & Tony | Wedding

A couple weeks ago, I had the opportunity of photographing a wedding with one of my friends Rachael for her friend Rachael. I had a great time with both Rachael’s and was happy I could be there to help Rachael out and help document Rachael and Tony’s big day. Check out Rachael’s blog for more images and she will be posting more images and details about the big day soon…on with the pics! Um, did I say Rachael emough?

You know I love the getting ready shots…

I’m not sure it’s possible to look at this one and not smile

Love Rachael’s expression here…

Makeup!

One of my favs!

I guess Rachael is just full of awesome expressions…

HDR helped me rock this “basic” shoe shot…

The first sight/tie fix moment…

The wedding was held downtown Plymouth on a crazy sunny and coldish day, so we ventured out to grab a few more shots…

I love all the real moments we were able to grab throughout the day….LOVE EM ALL!!!

I told you it was sunny!

Rachael found this nice little alleyway with some great light…

Yup, they’re a rockin’ couple!

Havin’ fun as a family

The lovely Rachael…

I like about 20% of the cakes at weddings and I liked this one

Here she comes…

Happiness…

I’m in love with these last two!

All in all, a super fab day and MSU won too!!!

Dustin - Matt, I use Photomatix (stand alone, not the Plug-In) for real HDR stuff, PS can’t compare and is much slower. Lately though, I really take advantage of what is available in ACR 5.xx….it’s so sweet! That image of the silos you commented on, on FB was just a JPEG from a P&S processed in ACR. Also, when I do use Photomatix, I save as a 16bit TIFF and then use ACR to do the final tonal adjustments and I”m loving the results. I can’t wait to do some HDR work soon

Matt Hall - Great work Dustin! Hey on the HDR image, did you use Photomatix Plugin or did you use what PS offers? Either way, love it!

Rachael - DUSTIN!!!! thanks for catching the moments. you do fine work. I can’t decide which is my favorite. Thanks again….the other Rachael

Rachael - Oh my gosh Dustin!!!!!!!!!! AMAZING. I love you for helping me out. I love love love love the reflection in the piano. I heart where she is walking down the aisle. I love them all.
