Several years ago I shot Craig and Stephany’s wedding here in Geneseo.  As with all photo shoots, I make my way through the shots, checking for problems, making corrections, etc.  A lot of times I find myself chuckling as I browse, remembering some of the funny moments that occurred during the day.

Here is another makeover. Some basic lightening, color enhancement.  The idea behind me showing these, is so you can see just WHAT we can do with photos.  The “Possibilities” thread will really be an ongoing project.
