Bryanna and Seth liked the portraits that I posted here and asked me to take their engagement pictures. I added a border to three of my favorite photos from that photo shoot.
The double fade border is done by masking two rectangles and adding blur.
For the brush-on effect I created a textured yellowish layer and placed the background layer on top of it. I added a black mask layer and brought back parts of the pictures using special brushes.
The Sprayed edge effect is achieved by applying a quick mask to a rectangle and then applying sprayed stroke to it.

I REALLY love the edits you put on these engagement photos!! I especially love the one where she has the sunflower. It really enhances the photos, and brings out some good things in them. Great work!

I really love these borders! They are so classy. They match each of these photos styles perfectly. I especially like the one with the sunflower and the border you chose for that. I think it was perfect.
