South Beach – Wedding Day – Daniel and Rachel – Wollongong Wedding Photographer

This was one of the last shots taken of the bridal party shots, alongside South Beach in Wollongong near their city beach reception. They decided to digress from the group and without saying anything to anyone they held eachothers hand and took off for a stroll down the beach.. I smiled to myself and followed them without them knowing. Soon enough they found out hehe luckily they were paying me to stalk them and take their pictures otherwise we’d have a problem.

I think this shot is very simple, traditional and Rach looks so elegant in her wedding dress. Rach is a rockstar and could make a potato sack look good 🙂 ..The over cast day striked a little low contrast, needing some serious need of a contrast boost but the original wasn’t very different. Has a 20% glamour filter over the tones of the sand and Rachel’s skin (almost too subtle to notice, but that’s the way I like it).

Took down the exposure in LR3 by 2/3 stop with the gradient tool just to bring out the clouds a little more.

And I believe for this shot, I had the assistance of Daniel’s brother to do the old ‘you have 0.56 seconds to run out of the shot after flicking up that veil’ ..We pulled if off 🙂
