What a beautiful and unusual photo. I'm sure the bride is pleased with your one-of-a-kind portrait. Please share the details of how this was done.

  thanks for the comments. I used photoshop and basically took most of the shadows out with a dodge tool. I then went to the brightness tool and lightened it up a bit more. It was taken at a place called Thanksgiving point in Lehi, Utah. I used the wind to my advantage causing her "fairy tale like" hair to blow outward during the shot. thanks again for the comments. Take care, Scott

  This is absolutely superb!!!! WOW WOW WOW! We'll be seeing it again around the 21st I'm sure!
I may be a little slow but I'm not sure how just dodging shadows and increasing brightness could creat this masterpiece...
Was it shot in B&W? And what effect was used to turn it into a "sketch" rather than a photo.
I know alot of people don't like giving away all the ingredients to their favorite cookie recipe so that they don't get copied... but I'd love to know a little bit more about how you created this beauty!
