Edinburgh Castle Wedding

Been a while since I've dropped by the forum. Thought I would post a few images from my most recent wedding at St Margaret's Chapel, Edinburgh Castle.

I like how you got a spot light on and around them.

That is what I was gonna say! Nice job!

Cheers folks, it's great what photoshop can do

Here's the original...

Haha! I wondered if you had rendered some lighting effects. Sneaky Sneaky...:giggle

Beautiful!

Did you by any chance get any photos of the whole castle? Scottish castles & landscapes are soooo pretty

Um, Angie, ALL of Scotland is beautiful!!!

Oh, Scotland, how I wish to see thee. One day, maybe one day.

Beautiful pictures, by the way - you'll have to tip us off on how you turned on that lantern in Photoshop!

Wow, I didn't know they held weddings at Edinburgh castle--so cool! I just visited there last summer...and it was so cloudy and misty...and BEAUTIFUL. Great captures!

I didn't get any whole castle shots on the day, but Edinburgh is only 1/2hr away by train so I have plenty of opportunity to get those shots for the album.

The photoshop technique was quite straighforward.. get rid of the horrible energy saving bulb, enhance tonal contrast to bring out stone detail, add lens flare with mask to show only the light "source", convert to 8-bit and add spotlight rendering.

Thanks.

I wish there had been mist for the wedding - it was foggy earlier. The bright sunlight was a bit of a challenge out of the shade.

Officially jealous, how cool would it be to shoot in a real castle.
Thanks for sharing, awesome location.

My advice is once you have seen Edinburgh.. get away to the west coast and as far north as you can manage. For me Scotland is about small villages on loch and sea shores, nestled underneath mountains. If you get as far as the Western Isles, take in the culture of a people who's first language is not English.
