I was recently honored to be published in Rangefinder Magazine. This is the top honor for publishing in the wedding and portrait business and I give all credit to God for his blessings in our life! Check out the article and learn the story behind this image. The last two weddings I've booked came as a direct result of this image more than any other. It actually came to me as a vision while I was listening to fellow photographer Jesh De Rox, pretty cool to see what came of this shot. It also served as the inspiration behind the Tanzania Trip that Grace Ormonde published in Wedding Style Magazine.



I first processed this image using www.actionrunner.com using my D Matrix Action then hand tweaked to perfection.

Chip Gillespie of Blog Stomp wrote: "*****" I think Action Runner is a phenomenal PS tool! We use it often! The benefits of its artistic conversion capabilities are amazing, but don't forget its utilitarian functions, too! Need to resize 1000 .jpgs for an online gallery? Or flatten $ save album layouts? How about converting hundreds of images to black and white in seconds?? ActionRunner is definitely a tool I would not be without!

Elle Zober: Honesly, I cannot live without my actionrunner! This is the best invention since the camera itself!"
