Wedding Photos Of The Future In Laws, Circa 1980 :  wedding photography vancouver 21542651 smallFile1387

I bought some textures from the very famous wedding photographer Jesh de Rox and finally got a chance to sit down and play with them. I come from a film background and grew up developing my own film and prints, so it took me many years to warm up to the idea of a digital slr camera, and it wasn’t until recently that I finally learned to accept photoshop (although it wasn’t easy).

So keeping in mind that I am missing some mysterious codec needed to play Jesh’s mini quicktime tutorial of how to use the textures, and I have very basic knowledge of photoshop… playing with nothing but the opacity, a few masks and feathering, I was able to create these images. The originals are on the bottom. Photoshop is definitely not for everyone (I’m still very hestitant to embrace it myself), and I am nowhere near as good as Jesh or Tim Willoughby, who I posted about earlier, but it’s a start. Let me know what you think!

Oh! and I recently killed Mr. Milkshake’s laptop (it gets the blue screen of death after about 60 seconds of starting up), so I had no personal photos to play with on the desktop computer, until I happened to stumble across photos of his parents’ wedding! I was totally excited! Some of the scans definitely showed the images’ age, so it was a little funny to alter the images when the next ones in the folder looked just as weathered with no editing.

I’ll post a tutorial on how to do this sometime down the road.

Jesh’s textures are definitely fun - have you watched the tutorial yet? It helps a lot with making the textures blend more with blending modes :)

I love what those photoshop textures did for your wedding pictures. Jesh De Rox has some fantastic textures. I’ve never heard of him before, but I’ll have to post some of his work on my blog.

I’ve been wanting to get those textures for a while. I think I’ll have to hold out and get them as a birthday present or something.
