"How seven of the best local photographers use their expertise to turn wedding memories into magic."



This is the original photo.



Here's the text from the article that describe the photo and how to technically achieve this shot.

"Knowing what's most important to the bride, Alicia Dickerson treats the dress picture like a work of art. 'Finding the dress can take months, so I figure I owe it to her to...capture a photo she truly loves,' says the Portland wedding photographer. In this case, the bride, Caley Crowder, grew up going to The Madeleine Parish in Northeast Portland, so Dickerson worked in the tricky shadows of dark church light to capture the sense of place on her July 10, 2010 wedding day. With no room for a tripod in the tiny choir loft, she used a fast wide-angled lens to get a crisp image and slightly overexposed to let extra light glow through the stained glass and lace. Some delicate post production enhancements in contrast and saturation complete a photo that glows as much as the bride surely did." (by Liz Hummer)
