Cool Photography Effect [San Luis Obispo Wedding Photography]

When I say my new favorite, I don't mean this is new...it's just my favorite effect for now. It's called the soft focus effect. It's relatively simple, although I don't think I'll be doing it to every image in a wedding just yet ;) It basically involves duplicating the image layer and blurring it, then either making it an overlay or changing the opacity to 50% (below are examples of each technique.) Nice huh?

Alva & Aaron [San Francisco Wedding Photography]

This was my first wedding in San Francisco. Alva and Aaron had their wedding ceremony at Fuchsia Dell in Golden Gate Park. The reception was at the Best Western Tuscan Inn at Fisherman's Wharf. I had my first ever real life wedding crasher, a very drunk woman asking if she can see the bride. It was...um...interesting. This was also my first trip to San Francisco. It was cold but fun. Alva and Aaron ordered special editing with their package.
