Shooting a photojournalistic wedding at the Christmas House Inn and Gardens

www.weddingphotographersinsoutherncalifornia.com

Every bride is different, and it's very important to understand their individual needs.  As an artist it's easy to get caught up into yourself, and to think that you should take no direction.  Well, I learned a long time ago that there is a balance between artistic vision and client needs and desires.  Yes, my clients hire me because want my style of work which is GREAT!  But it's also very important to listen to your clients and what STYLE of your work they are looking for...

My wedding couple here wanted a completely unposed wedding photography product.  Some photographers might be concerned at such a notion...but when you think about 80% of your wedding is photojournalism anyways right?  You can't pose the first dance, the daddy daughter, toasts, reception, etc.

This moment was captured following an emotional ceremony and as they left the ceremony site they just couldn't help but embrace for a passionate moment with each other.  Thank you for letting me shoot your wedding Kristin and Chad!

Camera settings: Nikon D700, 1/200 sec at f/5.6, 105mm at ISO 1600, flash did not fire.  Taken at 5:33pm.

Wedding Ceremony from the Bridesmaid Perspective at the Christmas House

This image was taken at my wedding Saturday at the Christmas House Inn and Gardens in Rancho Cucamonga, CA.  I knelt down next to the bridesmaids and framed the bride and groom with the bouquets. This image was only processed with Lightroom as the bride wanted very natural looking shots.  Hope you like it!

Dinner Service at a Montage Laguna Beach Wedding

It's always important to grab a shot of the dinner plates and tables before the ceremony starts...if possible. That's providing that there is enough time between you doing the couple shoot and when the venue lets the wedding guests into the Ballroom.  For my wedding at the Laguna Beach Montage we made arrangements to make sure I was in there before the wedding guests were allowed to enter.  This really made for such opportunity for photography....
