I have some more pictures from the wedding we shot at the Terrace Room at Lake Merritt Hotel.

Here’s a cool shot I do with the toasting glasses after the cake cutting.

This is a detail shot that the bride and groom really liked.

These two shots go together. I took both of them. These two are many in a sequence of shots. This first shot shows a friend of the bride and groom being serenaded.

This second shot is an alternate angle taken to show the emotion the bride and groom were feeling at the time.

These last two shots were taken by my associate photographer and basically show the Terrace Room a little more. The Terrace Room is a great place to have y our wedding. It has lots of natural light in the day and has plenty of room for lots of people.

Here’s a sweet, tender moment wedding photo that I captured from a wedding back in April 2009, at the Terrace Room in the Lake Merritt Hotel @ Lake Merritt, Oakland, CA. This wedding photos shows that moments like this really show my instinct for capturing deep, emotional moments between the couple, family and friends as well as the guests.

Tweaking images is great! But sometimes the images doesn’t need to be tweaked, and us photographers do the tweaking just so we can WOW or impress you with our skill and knowledge using photoshop and other photo image manipulation tools. I tweaked the photo below into what’s often referred to as TOUCH COLOR. I’m not sure if there is an official name for this. Upon further reflection, I think the original color image actually shows more emotion. I’d love to have your opinion on this! Please leave comments below.

TWEAKED IMAGE = Cropped, Touch Color, Noise Reduction, Sharpening & Level Adjustment

Tweaked image = aLL OF THE above except no TOUCH COLOR
