Happy Tuesday! I LOVE it when I become friends wit Happy Tuesday! I LOVE it when I become friends with my couples, and these two are quite the pair. With jokes about lighting, dancing in the sunflower field, hiding in trees to get the shot, and sticking around after the wedding just to talk for a bit, I’m smiling so much editing their previews. Enjoy this glimpse of @locusthall’s flower field!

Wedding tip: Couples: Are you torn between artsy Wedding tip: Couples: Are you torn between artsy photos and candid-looking photos? You can have both! Communication with your photographer is KEY to making sure your personalities are captured, but also communication about your love for whatever else attracted you to his/her work. What kind of photos are you drawn to?
Wedding Tip! I often have couples ask when they Wedding Tip! I often have couples ask when they should put on their accessories. Here is my answer! Brides: wait to put on your jewelry until you have your dress on. Grooms: wait to put your “wedding socks” and “wedding shoes” on until you officially get ready in your entire ensemble. This helps the photog to be able to get some photos of the details all together before you get dressed, and also allows you to have photos of you putting the accessories on, sort of as a “finishing touch.” Do you have any other questions about getting ready?

Happy gallery day to Jen + Dustin! Here are a few Happy gallery day to Jen + Dustin! Here are a few of my favorites.
One of my favorite moments in a wedding day has qu One of my favorite moments in a wedding day has quickly become the minutes immediately following the ceremony. Michelle + Kyle’s first seconds together as husband as wife were a combination of giddiness, intimacy, and elation; and it was beautiful. Scroll through to see the progression of the public ceremony to this private moment.
Time for another black and white series appreciati Time for another black and white series appreciation post. Sometimes taking the color out of a photo lets the viewer focus on the subject and the raw-ness of an image and gives you a different feel, just like two different tunes given to the same set of lyrics will evoke unrelated emotions. Enjoy this set of monochrome story-telling images.
A Detailed “How I Shot It” coming soon on this A Detailed “How I Shot It” coming soon on this image, once this technology-challenged photographer figures out how to use the reels feature 😆. Meanwhile, enjoy this champagne spray brought to you by a farm-loving, fun and romantic bride and groom.
Any fans of the movie “Up?” Michelle + Kyle t Any fans of the movie “Up?” Michelle + Kyle threw in meaningful nods to the movie here and there and they fit PERFECTLY. I try to get a very good sense of my couples before each wedding, and one thing that stood out above all others was their sense of adventure. See if you can find the “Up” reference in the first image, then scroll through to see some of the nods to the famous animated movie.

Tips for keeping it real and personal: BRIDAL PART Tips for keeping it real and personal: BRIDAL PARTY EDITION #1. You ask your siblings, your friends, your close colleagues or sometimes even a parent to be in your wedding party. You want ALL of your photos to reflect you and who you are as people, not just some. How do you do this with your bridal party? 1. Communication. Tell your photographer who your bridal party consists of. Do they know each other well? As a whole, are they fun? Are they chill? YOU DON’T need to go into details, just an overview so that your photog doesn’t ask them to do something that 1) won’t be natural or comfortable for them (which will come across in photos) and 2) won’t represent the “vibe” of who they are. 2. Communication again! What kind of photos are you drawn to? Do you like artsy bp photos? Candid? Fluid? Traditional? Creative formals? Tell your photographer. Can’t stand jumping bridal party images? Let the professional know before the big day. Don’t dictate exactly how the photographer should shoot and PLEASE don’t send them Pinterest photos to copy, but a general idea of what you like and don’t like will help them to serve you and come up with creative ways to set up those images themselves. Let me know your thoughts and questions and share this if it’s helpful!
Tip of the day: This piggy-backs off of the last c Tip of the day: This piggy-backs off of the last couple of posts, but choosing a venue that reflects you and your relationship can be incredibly meaningful. This photo was not accidental, it was very intentional on my part. These two chose to get married on a farm because it was personal for them. They met on a farm, fell in love on a farm, and chose to say their vows on a farm. One thing that I could do for them as their photographer was to do my best to tell this one day as part of their story. Keeping it real, keeping it personal, and continuing a love story through images is only one way to approach your wedding photography, but it’s an approach that I love and will keep putting my heart into.
When you love the outdoors and find a cool locatio When you love the outdoors and find a cool location that fits your personalities perfectly 😍. Tip for choosing a location for your engagement session: Pick a spot that will be comfortable for you, that symbolizes something you love to do together or holds some meaning for you. You will be more relaxed in front of the camera and you’ll get “real” moments instead of “forced” ones.
