To a professional wedding photographer the work for a couple’s wedding just begins after the wedding day is done.  Many don’t realize most of a professional wedding photographer’s time is spent in front of the computer processing and editing for hours on end.  The average editing time or 2 photographers for an all day wedding is 30 to 40 hours.  This is without doing special effects or major retouching but just general edits such as the one’s displayed below.

Many times in public parks such as the Arch Grounds especially on a beautiful day there is a sea of people to work around.  Some you can truly work around while others you just know you have to edit out later.  Here is an example of that fix.  Plus a little brightening and lighting of the overall image was done.

This couple chose a absolutely gorgeous setting for their wedding at the Missouri Botanical Gardens. It was truly picture perfect minus the “horns” growing out of their heads from the trees in the background. Nothing a little editing won’t fix.

Part of the standard service Artistic Soup Photography provides is to do all these edits upfront so your images loaded to your online viewing & print ordering portal AND the images provided on your Hi-RES DVD are just as the should be…Picture Perfect.

When jewelry designer Lena of Earthstar Jewelry moved her collection from New York to St. Louis she decided it was time for a new image that would also showcase her current line. She contacted Artistic Soup Photography to accomplish the task.

Thank you Lena and Best of luck to you in the Midwest. We LOVE your collection!

Katherine & Matthew were married on April 2, 2011 at the Missouri Botanical Gardens Japanese Garden. The day was picture perfect and every last detail was impeccable. Rosewood Ensemble performed at the Ceremony and Reception. Before reaching the Gardens, Artistic Soup Photography met the bride at the Chase Park Plaza for preparation photos and then we proceeded to Washington University as well as the Arch Grounds which both made for distinctive beautiful backdrops.

A Big Thank you Katherine, Matthew & their family and friends for a wonderful day! It was an honor to be a part of the festivities.
