Artistic Wedding Photography for the Bride and Groom | Wedding Photojournalism | Fine Art Wedding Photographers
The Artistic Guild of the Wedding Photojournalist Association is a distinct division within the Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA). The [AG]WPJA focuses strictly on the artistic and “fine art” aspects of wedding photojournalism. In a nutshell this organization celebrates and encourages wedding photographers to take great candid pictures, enhance them using the technology available, and deliver museum-quality images from your wedding day.

While I (John Munson) am not a member of this organization, I do believe in creating outstanding images through a documentary approach with post-production assistance. After using Photoshop for over 10 years, after having taken numerous Photoshop classes and edited thousands of images each year, I have become an expert in the field of image manipulation. This allows me to make average photos spectacular and good photos great, through the use of many adjustments, including cropping, color saturation, color balance, color overlays such as Sepia, or black and white conversions. Other adjustments include contrast, proper exposure (using shadow fill, levels, curves), sharpening, noise reduction, intentional blurring, and countless other effects. Object removal is another service I provide, such as removing an unwanted guest in the background or a skin blemish or lint on a blouse, etc. I have done many photo restorations and custom photo gifts for years, which you can see some examples at http://beaconphotos.com/services/custom-photo-gifts/.
