Using Photoshop actions for wedding images

So I recently attended a wedding convention, DWF, in Tampa. I went to learn all of the newest trends, products, speakers, etc. What I left with was so much more. I have to say, I am very impressed with the friendliness of other wedding photographers. I have never been to a convention before where everyone seemed like long lost friends. One of the best gadgets that I found was the Totally Rad Actions by the Boutwell's. I used them for these bridal portraits I did recently and I have to say, I just LOVE them. Let me know what you think! Thanks for looking!

I've never been a big fan of Photo Shop-type programs, but I have to say the actions you used on these shots are amazing. The colors are incredible, especially the last two. I also really like the one of the bride leaning against the wall. The feathery-ness of the lines makes it such an unusual portrait. That 2nd to last one (Jenn?) really looks like a fun shot. Good job.

I love them too! Thanks for the sweet comments, and yes, it's Jenn! She wanted photos of her dress and beautiful long hair. She plans on donating her hair to locks of love soon :)

Oh you're kidding! She has such beautiful hair. Well, I really admire her for that. I often wish my hair would grow long enough to donate but all it does is curl obnoxiously. hehehe. You definitely captured a wonderful shot of her dress and her hair. I'm sure it made her happy!

Hi Lisa!
It was really great meeting you yesterday at lunch! I'm really excited to start learning 'code' with you! Ha ha! Let me know if you find any cool classes...we could take them together! =)
Nice work! I love the colors...what actions of the Totally Rad did you use in order to pop the color like that?
