We have been working hard recently to get the BYU Bridal Guide finished. We sent proofs back yesterday and Warren is doing press checks today. Though editorial content is important, in our experience, the Bridal Guide’s strength is gained or lost in its pictures. We have a lot of local photographers to thank for art, but we also like to include a little bit of our own work.

Here is an example of one of the rings we photographed ourselves which didn’t make it to the final draft.

This is the photo we were given-as shot

One of the editors asked us to help with a little photo illustration for a story about saving money buying produce.  The original photo they sent over looked a little bit less than delicious.  That is probably due to the the combined facts that, we are used to seeing photoshoped images of food, and also it is winter and the produce selection is limited.  Either way, we can’t run an undelicious image, so we had to do a little work on it.

More tasty looking version

After the apple was a little tastier looking, then we just threw some money inside.
