The newly wed couple Juanra & Elisabeth offered me the possibility of living with them a very happy day in the restaurant La Boscana in Bellvís (Catalonia).
During one of their many sweet moments, I took the advantage from inside the house achieving a fantastic backlighting and cool reflection on the floor, for a final brilliant result that they will remember forever. My gratefulness to Wedisson Awards for their great style when it comes to photo selecting.
The making of this photo can be summarized in one word:coincidence. It's just so happen that when I was taking photo of the newly-wed, I noticed a lovely coincidence, an elderly couple and a young couple sitting on chairs in the backdrop, evenly on both sides, and with the newly-wed in the middle, it composed the idea of two people passionately dated in young age, walking on the journey of life together and accompanied each other when getting old. What else can be better to portray their life ahead?
The forecast of this day were terrible. Storms, rain and other bad weather was expected; but nothing other than the opposite was true this day. As we walked through the beautiful park, the sun at its highest point, i saw this perfect mixture between sunlight and shadows! Thanks to my b1 i could even out the foreground and background.
The couples dream was to get married in Hawaii since the time they started dating and after many years and months of planning and saving the day has finally come and what an ending to an epic day! My photography is to learn about the couple's journey to capture the raw and sincere moments. This bride and groom was no different with so much emotion and thoughts it was only natural to be able to capture this moment.
The bride is very happy on this photo. This photo was taken after the groom sang a song for her.
The backdrop of this photo is in Shek O, Hong Kong. Having them situated in opening space of ocean and sky, I wish to deliver the idea that they have each other to hold on to in this whole wide world. If you notice they were standing in exact middle position of the photo, you have catch on my idea of telling them that as long as they have each other’s back, they can create a bright future.
Paul and Catherine are the couple from Odessa. Bride is very gentle and devoted woman. Groom is purposeful and courageous, likes to travel. When a young sailor met the love of his life - he has a new dream - to show his Catherine the most beautiful places of our planet! Immediately after the wedding the couple went on a long journey. Ahead they have a lot of goals and victories, which they will carry out together!
Patti and Bobby got married at the beautiful St. Lukes, in downtown Charleston.This image was captured right after their ceremony in the courtyard of the church. The suns rays were filtering through the leaves of the giant oak trees, framing the couple for this portrait.
Our couple, Yaira + Sean had their wedding in early January on a super hot day, The heat was intense and there was no breeze to lessen the temperature effect. This did not stop our couple from enjoying every single minute of their wedding day though. The groom’s father brought 3 brand new Harley Davidson motorbikes especially for the wedding day, they were driven as an escort ahead of the wedding cars. So, we had to come up with a great photo idea to incorporate them in.
The entire wedding party was in love with the idea of doing a shot under this old bridge in Fremantle, WA. They got some much needed shade from the sun’s intense heat; and the low light + concrete walls and columns were a great background to create this shot.
We used 4 off camera flashes to illuminate the couple and the bikes so that we could darken everything else right down.
This image is now a double page spread in their wedding album.
On this wedding day in June, the weather forecasts were dramatic. It had been raining all morning. Just minutes before we were gonna start making pictures outside, it stopped raining and the sun broke through. These amazing clouds were the result. Not only the beautiful weather made this image one of my favorite images of the day, but the couple made it great. The bride had a warm and classic appearance and the groom had twinkling eyes and adored his bride. Such a beautiful and relaxed couple. That's the dream of every photographer.
Marta and riccardo yes are married in one beautiful day of may and they have chosen in wonderful catholic church. the times of the church were covered of frescoes and this photography was going made !!
Many people think this image was taken at a beach, but its quite far away from it. This was from a Trash the dress session in Oaxaca, MX.
The session started at 6am in the morning in Hierve el Agua, which is at the top of a waterfall. Bride and groom were truly troopers.
Leanne has always been a joy to work with, and her photos with her horses on the couples' farm were effortless and so much fun to take! The warm sunset paired nicely with the horse and rider.
Jenessa + Derrick had a beautiful, intimate wedding at a rustic barn in Mississippi. They decided to not see each other before the ceremony and so the moments before the ceremony began were full of nervous anticipation and excitement. What made the moment even sweeter than most was that both of Jenessa's flower girls were eager and excited to help in any way. Therefore, they became the official dress "fluffers."
It was one of those days…fluctuating between bright blue skies, followed by torrential downpours. We’d been on weather watch all day, second guessing whether the rain would hold off long enough for Alice and Ed to enjoy their drinks reception in the grounds of her parent’s fantastic home in East Sussex. For the most part it did, and then the heavens opened with a vengeance sending everyone scurrying across the field towards the marquee. Once everyone was finally inside, sure enough the rain stopped, the sun popped out and so did the most amazingly vivid double rainbow. The couple had just sat down for their meal but they dropped everything to come and marvel at Mother Nature’s most generous wedding gift to them. Less than two minutes later it completely vanished and I gave my own quiet thanks to the photography Gods.
It was a very pleasant day. We had a boat trip on the lake. Everything was perfect: the weather, the guys, the mood. But I wanted to make this moment a little bit better, and added smoke.
In life there are moments when we forget any problems. This is the best time for harmony, privacy and enjoying the company of a loved one. Paul and Catherine gave each other the opportunity. They will remember these beautiful places of native Ukraine - open spaces and clean air of the Carpathians!
I simply adore bridal photo's like this, so when I got the chance to make this, I was so excited. In the castle of Oud Wassenaar at Wassenaar, Netherlands, a castle that needs repair so much, I got the opportunity to shoot this with light.
The bride is walking up the stairs in candlelight and a heart full of beautiful memories of her wedding day.
I met Katherine and Fernando on a very hot day at my office. She was very shy and reserved. She was more expressive than him. When we started the meeting, the only word she said out loud was "Different" and he was agreeing with her. They explained to me what they really wanted on their pictures. They did not want anything like everyone else, they wanted the perfect combination between love and adventure. One of the most important things that inspired me was the sparkle in their eyes. When Fernando looked at her, there was a proclamation of love for Katherine. We strive to be the real storytelling of love, the passion of each other was reflecting on each image. The complicity between them was simply excellent to accomplish everything. This image was made in Puerto Hermoso, Salinas Bani, South of the Dominican Republic. Usually the sea is very strong in the area were the picture was taken, but that day the ocean was as calm as a dish, the reflections, the breeze, the sky, the sunset..everything was in perfect combination to create an image out of this world. We told the boat driver exactly where I wanted him to stop. When they saw the final result they just said: “you just made magic. Your image is a piece of art”.
I love taking photographs in the rain and Jade and Arwel were more than happy to go outside in the evening for this shot. We started off with them being stood under an umbrella but once I had my settings correct I asked them to throw it away. I think shots like this look much better without an umbrella.
