New Wedding Photography Website :: Central Wisconsin Wedding Photography

It is a fantastic day! The sun is/was out this morning, someone found my cell phone, my smoking car was only the air condition belt AND I have a new wedding photography website!

I have been working with my most recent wedding, Beth and Kent's winter wedding in Marshfield, to develop an online gallery and sales option for my clients. I am making a few final tweaks, but here it is!

The website address is http://lauraschmittphoto.photoshelter.com/

I chose to use Photoshelter because it was really photographer friendly. I can choose my own layout (and they all look very clean and crisp, which I like) and have large images and galleries featured. It also directly loads from my PhotoMechanic. Another plus for PhotoShelter is that I can fulfill my own sales from my trusted photo printing company. That way I can see the images before they go to the printer and when they are done. I am kind of a perfectionist :)

Friday Fall Photos

Friday Fall Photos

 I usually don't take photos in the morning because.... I am not awake in the morning! I kid, I kid, I am awake, but doing other things, like... other things that I do in the morning. This morning was a bit different though. I usually run in the mornings and today I went to do that, but my camera was in my car. So... I took photos instead. I ran a little, but definitely not a lot. It was pretty muddy. I guess the morning light struck m, as did the dew and the fall. 

 The path on which I run.

 

I couldn't decide which grass photo I liked better. There isn't much difference....

I might be obsessed with lens flare. Just a little. Happy first Friday in October! la la la!

Actions on Wedding Photos

UPDATE: Shutter Sisters blogged about actions today too! AND the best thing about their blog about actions is that if  you comment on it, you get a chance to win a set of presets from Totally Rad Actions! Click HERE to enter.

 Since my last post was about actions, I thought I would share some wedding photos that I have used actions on. I only used actions on a few photos from last year, but I did a couple extra from previous weddings that I thought would look good with some actions.  I use Aly's Vintage actions. You can download them on HERE. I don't have all the before pics right now, but here are some examples.

I used Aly's color boost action on this photo

Aly's Vintage: Simple Vintage

This photo I just used a vignetting action. I think I shot the photo a bit askew, but there was enough room to work with, so I went and tilted it more.
