They are a cute, fun, exciting couple to work with so I wanted to do an image that would show how unique they are with each other. I have done many shoots with them and every time I see more love between them and it makes the photos that much better.Editing
Oh ya. This started with about 10 images. I wanted to have him just hold the frame, (3 or 4 shots) then have her lean through the frame (several more shots). When I looked through them i picked the one I liked. This young lady is his dream, so I liked it when it was BW and she is the focal point in color, but it still had color behind he, So i picked another photo I have and with a bit of work I took out the original background and replaced it with the other image. So with her and the single flower in color it says (to me) she is the flower of my life.In my camera bag

NEVER work with your originals, ALWAYS work with duplicates. I have messed up many photos because I forgot to make a copy.
