Most digital images benefit from some post-processing in Photoshop. Areas can be lightened or darkened, wrinkles reduced, blemishes eliminated, and blinking eyes can often be repaired by using open eyes from a similar shot.
Post-processing can takes seconds, or it can hours depending on the importance of the image. This one took a while...
Jennifer, before

Jennifer, after

|
This "before" image is NOT a mistake. It was underexposed to preserve detail in the bridal gown, and to keep from totally blowing out the trees and sky in the background. |
|
|
Fill flash was used to lighten up Jennifer and the arch, but not enough to wash out the ambient light. The goal was a "natural" look. |
|
|
The bricks were lightened and reddened for warmth. |
|
|
The bridal gown, flowers, and Jennifer were carefully enhanced to preserve detail, and to make Jennifer "pop" from the background. |
|
|
The dull sky was replaced with a sunset, muted to seem realistic. |

Image proportions favored a 2x3 aspect, but the client wanted an 11x14 print. I squashed the arch above Jennifer and stretched the sides a little. The results were totally believable, and the client was delighted. |
