This is a lot more than I normally give for an e-session but these two are so cute I just couldn't cull any more. Normal for me is 40-50 images. There is a lot of redundancy so I went way way out into left field on some of the processing. There are some that are flashy or otherwise not what I consider great technical images but still images that I know the client will like so they are there too.

Wow! I'm a sports photog but I've got a good buddy in California that asked me to shoot his wedding next fall. So, I've started coming in this subforum from time to time to get ideas and learn. I just learned that I'm about to drop $300 on actions from Gettotallyrad.com!!!! In sports, we don't do this kind of post, but I'm definately going to start and see what clients think. This will surely help me in my ability to create great pictures for my buddy and his wife. So, thanks for sharing the knowledge brother. Alot of good photogs are tight lipped about post processing. You're a good guy for sharing. Thanks.

yeah... I thought about that (being more tight lipped) quite a bit before I started talking about it here, but you have to get the shot first and that is especially true with wedding photography. Get the actions but focus on the shots and the techniques needed to get them first. Sports shooter skills are part of the wedding photogs tool bag, but just a small chunk. Much more to learn about shooting weddings, but you probably already can see that if you have been studying.
Good luck and be sure to post some of what you get!
