One of things that makes wedding photography so interesting and fun to shoot is the fact that each one I do is always so unique. From the venue I'm shooting at, to the mood of the bride, to the light on that particular day... it's always fresh and new. I had the opportunity to shoot Christine and Mark's wedding last week on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. The light was perfect, everyone's mood was upbeat, and it just really came together in a magical way.

One of things I strive to do with each photograph I take is to think about the end result. The emotion that will shine through by the use of light, composition, expression etc. Elizabeth, the little girl in this photograph was watching me take pictures of the bride. When I paused to change my camera settings, she ran over and gave her aunty a hug. I looked up and saw it happening and quickly snapped away. I love the light spilling on the pink bouquet and the backlight on their hair. It adds a romantic splash to the image that I love.

This wedding dress was shot in the hotel room using the curtains as a backdrop. I added the Vintage action from Pioneer Women to give the image a bit more drama.

Details are so important when shooting a wedding. It's all the little moments you capture that add up to one lovely and unique story.


The dreamy mood in this photograph was created by adding a subtle vignette to the image, darkening the background so that the couple "pops" more and then I did a soft focus on the area behind them - again to make the couple really stand out in the image. I love her smile. It really makes the photo.


All preciosos! You have a fine eye, Dee.
