WEDDING HIGHLIGHTS: Cast – supporting roles family, friends and…..

Family group photos are always expected but rarely used, however, they are very important to both families. We discovered when one of our clients had a sudden death in the family and the photographs of that person during our client’s wedding helped the family get through a very difficult time.

The problem is that after the ceremony everyone wants to get on to the party and it becomes a real challenge to coral all the right people. If family and group photos happen prior to the ceremony it is less likely that family and friends will drift away. All this aside, we work to make the photos go fast and most importantly be fun for all concerned.

Couples

Our wedding couples typically opt in for at least one engagement session just to get themselves used to being followed by paparazzi. The session also gives us a chance to learn how the couple interacts with each other so we can better anticipate photos that represent them. Usually if a couple has a favorite location or activity that is within the metro area we will photograph them there, otherwise we have a long list of great locations from very urban to woodsy.

WEDDING HIGHLIGHTS: Act 3-Celebration

This is the time the fun begins both for our couples and ourselves. The wedding party starts to move into Partay Mode and we get to be creative. When there is time between the ceremony and the reception we often have our couples come up with a spot they would like go to and have some fun. Once the reception begins and the dance is underway we use strategically placed off camera flashes to help bring an additional creative touch to our images. While dance photos often get old after a few snaps we try to liven them up by adding zoom effects to enhance the movement and excitement and occasionally we will use color gels on our flashes to add contrasting color especially where there is only room lights.
