DH and I were on a super tight budget (in Orange County, CA even), and we were struggling to find a way to afford wonderful wedding photos. What we came up with (and TOTALLY worth it) was to ask photographers how much they would charge for just the photos, with no editing, since editing takes so much time. Turned out some of the photogs were willing to take a huge chunk out of their going rate!! We were so stoked when we found out. I've been doing photo manipulations for like.. ever, so I figured I could do it myself. I fixed colors, removed some back bulge, cleaned up stray hair, removed the stupid glare/reflection on the DH's glasses, and stuff like that. And this is how it turned out! So happy. Honestly, I know people offer Photoshop services (like per picture), so it might be good for other brides to consider!
Original photos were taken by A Shutter in Time located in the OC!
