I backlit the bride and groom using an off camera flash and placed a second flash with a Magmod on it 50 feet away camera left pointing at the couple.

I believe when you are looking for miracles, you will see them. When I was a child, my brother and I played the slug bug game. Because we were looking for vw bugs, they were everywhere and we began smacking each other profusely in laughter. Always be looking for little miracles on wedding days. Wait for the right moment, and be ready to record it. Being a great wedding photographer means being an epic story teller along with capturing breathtaking portraits.
The sun wrapped around this bride like a warm jacket on a cold day. Her beauty was captivating and it was as if the sun knew it. <br /> <br /> See more of this brides' gorgeous day on the pages of Southern Bride Magazine. <br /> <br /> Bride: Ivanka Ivanova <br /> Venue: Cielo Blu Barn <br /> Flowers: Something Special Florist VB<br /> Stylist: Sassy A La Mode<br /> Vintage Decor Rental: Mimosas and Moonshine <br /> Makeup: Bella Chic by Crystal <br /> Lace Boots: House of Elliot Collection <br /> Hair: Alexis M Perez <br /> Photography: Stacia Morgan Photography <br /> <br /> <br />
<br /> I love to hear how my couples met and the beautiful stories that led them to the alter. Matt and Kelsey's love story is one of my favorite. They fell in love as young teens and have grown up together for the past ten years sharing the love of surfing. It made perfect sense that they would have a destination wedding in the Florida Keys and say their "I dos," oceanside.
I recently learned that Vietnamese brides do not wear white on their wedding day because white is reserved for funerals. They wear colors to celebrate love. ( I was the kid who had to use every color in the crayon box on every picture I colored or it was not a masterpiece. lol) so I embrace this awesome concept fully! Anyhoo-I love this photo of them because I feel like it depicts my couple as โ€œthe love storyโ€ like a cover of a romance novel.

<br /> This photo was taken using an 85mm prime lens in natural light. I framed the couple by photographing through some floral vines that dresses the walkway. <br /> <br /> <br />

I feel like the luckiest girl on the planet. I get to travel the world documenting the most powerful resource we have as humans... Love. It is an awestruck privilege that I will never take for granted. This is the love story of Marc & Andressa in the ancient city of London.
One of the most magestic times to do wedding portraits in London is in the middle of the night! We came upon the iconic red bus parked along the road. The bus driver was taking a short break and offered to let us get some shots inside the bus. I loved the adventurous spirit of this couple. They were along for the ride on all of my crazy suggestions as we walked the streets of London, and boy, am I crazy! Serious props to Giorgini and Allesandro! May your life be full of romantic adventures! Thanks for allowing me to document your amazing love!
While taking a romantic walk through a park in London with this gorgeous bride and groom, I saw an opportunity to capture their love amidst these beautidul tulips. I wanted to photograph them in a way that would present them as part of the flower garden. <br /> <br />
<br /> This was the very first wedding at the exquisite venue, Hidden Beach, in Key Largo. It is the sister property of Key Largo Lighthouse Beach. This shot was taken to show the raw beauty of the property, while capturing the romantic sunset for the couple. I love how it turned out. <br /> <br /> Venue: Key Largo Lighthouse Beach<br /> Wedding Planner: Cate Tenopir Events <br /> Photography: Stacia Morgan Photography<br />
I love reflections especially when photographing by the ocean. Add starlight and I'm doing the happy dance on the pier! The gorgeous landscapes of the Florida Keys allow for epic fine art reflection photography at every wedding. To top it off, you can almost always capture stars in your photos when it's still dusk.
<br /> This day was different from all other days. Heaven seemed to be pouring out from the sky as if to flood the ground beneathe me. I was so taken by the way it wrapped itself around and through this gorgeous tree. When Ivanka stepped into my camera frame, my heart skipped a beat. If light could speak, it would have sang ,"hallelujah!

Valentin and Eugenia are a sensual couple from Odessa. They organized a wedding! Instead of a noisy banquet, the newlyweds decided to make a furshete and a walk in nature. They realized their dream - the final of the wedding took place at sunset in a fantastic place!
Splashes of champagne, fun and laughter! This is how I remember the wedding of Mikhail and Alla. Their little daughter Mariam is very happy for her mother and father. Now their family together and forever!
Alena and Nikita are newlyweds from Odessa. Now they are very in love. The couple's arms are dizzy with tenderness. It's wonderful, when the whole world revolves around loving hearts!
This shot is filmed in Odessa. Alena and Nikita are happy! Newlyweds are surrounded by close friends who have fun and are sincerely happy about the birth of a new family.
Sensual Natalia and Alexander are newlyweds from Odessa. Their gentle looks and touches delighted me throughout the wedding day.<br />
Madly in love, the newlyweds Nikita and Alena. This shot is filmed in one of the most beautiful places in Ukraine. Holding hands, lovers are ready to flee to meet a fresh wind! They are happy!<br />
Eugene and Elizabeth - a beautiful couple from Odessa! Now they are newlyweds. Evgeni works in the sea for a very long time. But he will always strive to return to his beloved Elizabeth. Only together they are really happy!
Eugene and Anna are passionate couple. Newlyweds are very fond of Latin dances. In the dance they live each other! Evgenie's masculinity complements Anna's tenderness. They are beautiful!
This photo was made in the historical center of Lviv. Sunset sun gently warms the newlyweds. Alexander and Renata are now really in love and happy! A beautiful view of the ancient buildings from the balcony complements the picture of this romantic evening.
Photo taken near Lake Brebeneskul. This is the highest mountain lake in Ukraine, it is at an altitude of 1801m above sea level! The crew together with the newlyweds made a difficult journey along the complex tourist route. We managed to take a few photos and the weather deteriorated. There was heavy rain and wind. The bridegroom Aleksander and Renata's bride spent the night in a tent with tourists to continue shooting the next day. It was an incredible adventure!

I waited for the daylight to drop enough for the ambience in the bridge lights to come up, but the couple needed light on them. A gridded lightweight softbox was positioned just to the side of them. The foreground was some diffused glass that caught another nearby light.
The thing that makes this image for me is their reaction which happened because they were being teased by a guest and could barely keep a straight face. It worked out well though and it goes to show that you should always persevere in more challenging situations.
Rule number one for any confetti shot...<br /> Get the crowd going.<br /> Rule number two....<br /> Get some confetti canons.<br /> BANG!!!<br /> Just a small part of an awesome wedding day with a great bunch of people.<br /> Congratulations Stephanie & Paul
When the sun is out you just have to use it. Sometimes it's about working with backlight, sometimes hard front light. It's in these conditions that it's easy to forget about keeping the couple in the moment, but the main never left these two.<br /> Congratulation Matt & Sarah!
Hugely proud to accept another award from Wedisson.<br /> Kirsten & Tim had such a fantastic wedding in the hills of Derbyshire. It was incredibly relaxed, and the sun shone all day making for a fabulous set of pictures as it dropped over the horizon. This picture is just one of many, but ultimately one that portrays everything around that moment, just them, being themselves on their wedding day.
I had the most wonderful day with Lauren and Andy, in a busy hotel room packed with bridesmaids, a makeup artist and a few others Lauren was relaxed and being made up. Great window light and a little bokeh from a makeup brush made a simple but lovely frame.
Two awards with these guys! We talked about going into some of the local scenery on their wedding day in advance, and as we climbed up to a rocky peak this wonderful and very natural moment occurred.
Who doesn't love sparklers at a wedding! It was chucking it down with rain but we found a little space in the doorway of the hotel. I popped a flash to backlight and let the magic happen.
I noticed breaks in the trees and could see a great way to frame the couple. They were already in the right spot when I moved around, and somewhere between me yelling instructions a lovely reaction happened where Rachael smiled!

Abi and Pat got married at the Chatham Historic Dockyard (yes, this image was taken inside the venue), we had 5 minutes to grab an image of them just after the service. I saw the lights on the roof of the dockyard and with a handy reflection I managed to capture this.
I love pre-wedding shoots, they come as standard with every wedding booking. I find it is a really important way to build trust with the couple and also their friends and family. This is Laura and James, enjoying a moment in Southbank London.
Rachel and Charlie had an epic firework display and I knew I had to find a way to capture it in a cool way. With a slightly longer exposure and a bit of flash, I managed to capture this moment of them.
The last image of the night for Hardeep and Alex's amazing barn wedding. The moon and stars were out to play so I couldn't resist taking this image.
This is probably the turning point from civilised guests into an EPIC party!!! Rachel and Charlie had a super amazing wedding with a few 'dentists chair' moments.....
Just love the "feel" of this photo, a beautiful intimate moment between Aleksandra and John. The only way to emulate this feel in a photo is to be physically close and be right there with them - but couples only allow you that privilege when you've gained their trust so they feel they can be themselves in your presence - it's almost like you disappear....its that relationship that we work most hard to build...but when it allows you to capture moments like this it's worth it!
So these guys aren't officially engaged yet but by the virtue of going on a pre-wedding photo shoot and arranging a wedding for 2018 you can safely say they are madly in love!!!!
Gemma and Richard High5'ing after at the end of their ceremony - don't worry, the kiss followed this!!! A beautiful Japanese setting in the heart of Gloucestershire, Matara is a venue that everyone should visit one day.
Emma and Rob got married at the beautiful Wasing Park, England. I spotted this composition during the day and took some day time portraits. In the evening I went back to this location and was stunned with how much it was transformed by the night sky. A bride and full moon was casing a beautiful light on the ground with the dark sky littered with stars. This image took all of 5 minutes to set up and capture.

This church organ is very unique. Especially for this groom. He plays the church organ and the brother of this bride plays THIS church organ. Normally it is not allowed to take pictures in this church, so I was so excited to hear that we had permission. I love all the detail in this photo.
What do you do when you are getting married and Amsterdam is your city? Right! You arrange a bike and ride through the traffic on the Magere Brug in the centre of Amsterdam. We had so much fun! This picture had to be in black and white as far as I am concerned. Love the expression on their faces.
The bride and her friends on a day full of memories. Before the ceremony they have fun, do their make up and hair and enjoy each others company with high tea / champagne. A relaxing moment of all the emotional moments to come.....
I met this couple at a wedding fair and was thrilled when they booked me for their loveshoot and wedding in september. A stunning couple of which this picture is one of the loveshoot I took recently on a amazing venue. <br /> Their love is so pure, I simply adore this series.
Calm on the outside, but nervous on the inside, this bride to be gazed outside at her stunning venue. Soon to put on the dress en meet her groom.
A kiss is a kiss, but with this couple I wanted a splendid kiss full of passion. And so they did and gave me this picture to shoot. Love it!
They call it the circle of love, this beautiful flower arrangement in a circle. Add a stunning bride and groom and an amazing venue and you have this picture.
On stage of the musical De Marathon, a populair Dutch musical, with the lighting of the musical, a special gift of the theatre. This couple is a huge fan of De Marathon, so this was right up their alley.
This bride and groom are longtime sweethearts and almost neighbours. We loved the ride in this beautiful white Porsche, which was the grooms pick for the wedding. We enjoyed this wedding very much, since the bride is our niece. We held her when she was a baby, gave her bottles of milk and clean diapers and hushed her into sleep. I am proud that this photo was won a Wedisson Award and send her and her husband a special message to celebrate this while they are on their honeymoon.
Nasty weather on a otherwise perfect day just asked for this picture to be made. So I just pulled this couple away for a moment from their reception.

Sarah & Josh got married at an old school house in New Zealand so I thought it would be fun to make use of the school's tennis court for their portrait shoot.
