There are a variety of time consuming solutions to fix this problem. Or we can jump right into Photoshop CS4 to use the new “Content-Aware Scale” feature. As you can see in the sample pictures below, the first picture is the original. Next is the cropped image that clips off some of the mirror frame. The last picture took just a few minutes to modify using the Content-Aware Scale feature, which enabled me to include all the important content within an 8×10. No doubt there will be some instances where this Photoshop feature will not solve the problem, but it is worth a try. Feel free to contact me if you would like a personal tutorial on this technique.

As in the past, I enjoyed the photographic opportunities at the Mooreland Mansion. Karin & Mike held their ceremony outside and dinner inside. Cocktails and the reception were out on the covered porch. The staff provided their usual minimal service and good food. Shooting weddings is such a passion I often forget at some locations that I am working as a vendor and feel like a guest, but they are polite to the hired hands.
Here are a few pictures from the event.

Jeff & Tammy did a great job capturing a special “wedding in the park” event. Kathryn & Noah hosted a wonderful wine and cheese theme to their reception followed by Noah serenading his bride with a special song.
