In My Photo Playground

My handsome red-headed younger brother proposed to the love of his life in the Grand Canyon last winter. He set up a tripod to take these insanely awesome pictures of the day. My sweet sister-in-law to-be asked if I could maybe touch them up at bit.
I gladly ran them through my Lightroom program and was amazed at how much detail you could see with a little lightening. SIL-to-be said it would be fine to share these pictures of their special day, so remember, these are not my pictures. Just a couple pics I got to bring to my photo playground.
Above is the before...

Have I mentioned HOW much I LoVE Lightroom!?! I LOVE LIGHTROOM! I ended up signing up for the monthly plan, $10/mo for Lightroom and Photoshop. I wanted to try it for a year before investing in another photo program. Can I just say it was totally worth it! You can edit a whole folder of pictures at once. Love. That is all there is to say.
Thanks Dave and Davie for letting me show off your pictures. I can't wait to see the wedding pics!!! And yes, those are their names. We just call them Team Dave or The Daves now ;0}
