Wedding Retouch

Here's a retouch I did of the Johnsons running out of the church. One on camera speed light aimed up high bouncing off of the ceiling (run n gun situation). I had some issues with hot spots on their foreheads and a warm brown tint from the ambient color refracting with the flash (since it was bouncing off of a brownish/orange ceiling. So I had to spend a good amount of time cloning out the hot spots on their heads and using the transparency masking technique to match the luminance of the new cloned portions, then masking around the bride and groom and color correcting them individually from the background. Once I finished all that I added blur and graded the photo
