<p>A bit of gaussian blur on the background, slightly boosted curves, I cleaned up the foreground slightly. Oh I forgot, I also desaturated the dress as the cold tones didn't match the warmth of the background and added a vignette</p><div></div>

<p>I find the cutesy, over-friendly approach a bit cloying and as a customer I would move right on (I'm grumpy, what can I say?)<br>

The site is ok, it looks professional but I seem to have seen that style of template a lot lately.<br>

Another thing I noticed is that you're quite adamant about not providing a disc of high res images. That's fairly unusual these days and I can imagine that would put potential customers off. The trick is to charge enough in the first place so that you're not worried about making money through aftersales of prints<br>

Best of luck though!</p>

I know that the couples think they are interviewing me but I'm also interviewing them and seeing if I actually want to be involved in their day. If I detect control freakery I'm not interested or if their idea of good photography isn't the same as mine, again, I'm not interested. Don't get me wrong, I'm always polite but I'm not that desperate to work with overly demanding people. Otherwise, if I like them and it's the first meeting, I just chat to them about the day and the questions come naturally.

I aim for around 600 images from an 8 hour day but at the moment it's probably double that from sheer fear of losing 'the shot'
