Seeing the light!  Light paints your world and for photography it is an absolute element photography cannot live without.  Understanding it can always be tricky so knowing what you want for an image is of utmost importance.   Your light source can bring impact, feeling and emotion.  If you notice in our teasers four different elements on light: artificial, available light, natural light and naturally directed light.  All play a different roll and give a different feeling to each photo.  Sudha + Suchit bring the element of artificial light to bring a dynamic feel that gives impact to an image while exposing their surroundings.  Mai + Marlowe bring the element of using available light when there is virtually little to no lighting available.  Flash is avoided so that shadows and a mood can be created by only available light, in other words creating an image based on where the light source is.  Joyce and Ryan is probably the easiest light to shoot in because its natural light.  Lets face it, everyone loves it because of the look and feel of images from natural light.  Natural light is fresh, bright and oozing with loveliness.  Lastly, Kate + Adam are a similar case of natural light only that natural light is directed through a window allowing light to be more controlled to create shadows which can create mood.  Window light is like diffused light in that the light source doesn’t directly hit its subject first.

In wedding photography, people usually hire a photographer based on the type of portfolio they have and what style wedding the bride might be looking for based on her theme.  Whether you’re a bride who likes glamor with all the lights or maybe you like those country side weddings like me that invite a earthy warm tones we love shooting all styles from dark romantic places to bright and green luscious places =)  But the most important thing we take into consideration with photography is getting to know YOU the best as possible.  Everyone has a different taste, style and feel they want for their wedding so the more we get to know you the more we understand what you like and don’t like when it comes to imagery.  We believe firmly that good photography doesn’t just consist of showing up for a shoot but actually directing the look and feel of your shoot/wedding day.
