Wedding Photography Portfolio
SECTION 1: GETTING READY & PRE-CEREMONY
My wedding photography portfolio takes you from sample weddings start to finish, including the getting ready, the ceremony, the bridal party portraits, the ceremony, and reception. This section covers the Getting Ready. At this stage, I focus on capturing candid moments and details like the wedding dress, shoes, and veil. If time allows, I also take portraits of the bride and groom before the ceremony starts.
The Ceremony
SECTION 2: CANDIDS & PHOTOS OF THE CEREMONY
This section covers wedding photos of the ceremony. I focus on a lot of candids and focus on capturing the walking down the aisle, the reaction of the groom, the vows from various angles, wide angles that show the venue, zoomed in shots of reactions, decor and details, candids of the guests, the first kiss, and more all while being subtle. I don’t use flashes and try to be as unobtrusive as possible.
The Bridal Party
SECTION 3: BRIDAL PARTY & COUPLE PORTRAITS AFTER THE CEREMONY
This section covers the Bridal Party photos. After the ceremony we’ll normally take family group photos and bridal party group photos. For the family groups, I focus on good group formation, lighting, and efficiency. For the bridal party photos, I focus on fun ideas, creating moments and capturing natural smiles. We’ll also do photos of the couple in various locations and try various poses and ideas.
The Reception
SECTION 4: DETAILS & CANDIDS OF THE RECEPTION
This section covers photos of the reception. Once we arrive to the reception location, my focus will be to capture details like the room, the cake, table settings, and decor that’s unique to the couple. Then I’ll capture candids of the guests, the introductions, the toasts & speeches, the first dances, cutting of the cake, and dancing. There are a lot of fun group photos that can be taken at this time as well!
