Behind the editing craze

Earlier today I posted a couple photos of my cousins "fun" bridals that I took. 

Although they looked gorgeous, I just wanted to post some of the comparisons. As I said, 

it took me HOURS of editing because a lot of the time the exposure was TERRIBLE. 

so I had a lot of fun playing with the new photoshop program.

I'm sure its still mostly photographer error (I am still learning of course) but thank goodness for photoshop! Otherwise these photos would have been VERY dark & blue. 

What have you been doing to bring you joy this tuesday?
