oriGINAl imaGINAtion: Before & After: Love is in the air

So I had two engagement shoots this week and love was definetly in the air! I think if I were to specialize in any particular aspect of photography I would totally pick engagement shoots because it is just so lovely to be let into the love & excitement of a couple looking toward a life together and being allowed to capture the private moments, the looks, the personality of their love. Plus...they are so willing & able to play along with me. (unlike children!) *wink* Anyway...I had a hard time choosing which photo to share but I finally settled on this one because I really like and the edit was less subtle than some of the others. I took it using my Canon Rebel XT & edited it in Paint Shop Pro 9.
