YOUR pReSENCE
Although thoughtful preparations, location scouting, timeline planning, styling and other nuances are impactful and important, the most beautiful component is your presence - being emotionally immersed in the fleeting moments of the day. The vulnerability to show your true love for each other makes a world of difference.
SETTING THE STAGE WITH LOCATIONS
The location you choose will set the tone for your images. Make it personal while keeping in mind the aesthetic of your day: the colors, light, natural scenery, architecture etc. A special note about the getting ready location - it acts as the backdrop for initial portraits, sentimental moments with parents, bridal party, as well as details, and we highly recommend choosing a place with natural light, open space and similar feel to your wedding. We also love offering our guidance for family formals and couple session locations, considering the intricacies of your schedule and preferences.
