Dream Wedding: The Magic of Cropping

I was not feeling well today -- nothing too traumatic, just a sore throat and sore sinuses.  No fever, no coughing and no cold.  I'm praying it stays that way.

While resting in bed after work, I played with wedding pictures and re-discovered the MAGIC of cropping.

Chris and I were blessed to have wonderful photographers but with an 8-person wedding party, I found myself wishing some of the pictures were zoomed a little closer.  After an afternoon of cropping, I am, again, in love with our wedding pictures!  I love the originals for all the scenery and the completeness of the settings -- the sanctuary, the veil, and the beach.  I now love the new ones for the details of each picture -- the facial expressions and specific moments in time captured on that day.

I am an absolute non-expert on photo-editing, but I'm REALLY happy with my cropping ability!  More photos for walls before Thanksgiving family arrives.  :-D

Happy Friday!
