Many people want a natural light ceremony whether indoor or outdoor. It's all the rage! This post is geared towards giving you information about natural light wedding photography-when it works and when it doesn’t, and to also dispel someone common misconceptions about natural light photography. Natural light is also referred to by photographers as ambient or available light, so if you were every wondering what those 2 terms meant now you know! First let’s dispel some common

I am asked all the time when the best time of day is for an outdoor ceremony, and my answer is always Golden Hour! You will want to plan your ceremony for the beginning of golden hour, but there are some catches to having that beautiful golden light during the actual ceremony. This post is intended to arm you to the teeth with information to help you plan your day to get the most out of your outdoor wedding ceremony photos. LET'S FIRST DISCUSS WHAT GOLDEN HOUR IS, AND IS IT

I am frequently asked what the best time of day is for an outdoor wedding ceremony, but I'm not usually consulted on the worst time of day. Ironically, most people schedule their wedding ceremony for the worst time of day in regards to lighting and comfortability. This post is designed to help you make an informed decision regarding your ceremony time. Sooo... What IS the worst time of day? Mid-day and the times surrounding mid-day. Period. For example, in July here in SC

Today I want to focus on the one thing a lot of up and coming Wedding Photographers complain about and are scared of most. "THE SCARIEST, MOST UNPREDICTABLE, YOU HAVE 2 SECONDS TO GET YOUR SETTINGS RIGHT, SPARKLER EXIT!" Be calm-it's really not that scary, and you don't have to have a lot of crazy equipment to pull it off and make them look great! I start with the same general settings upon getting out there. Once the sparklers get lit I may have to change my settings slightl

Katherine and Will had a dreamy sunset engagement session in Winnsboro, SC full of sunflares and lots of love! Will owns a logging company, so it was important for them to represent that in their engagement photos. The accompanying forest really went will with this session. They are a fun and laid-back couple who are just perfect for each other! For Photogs-To achieve this look it's important to use off camera flash; otherwise, the background would be extremely blown out

Jaime and Armand are THE CUTEST couple! Jaime is a fun firecracker and Armand tries to balance that by being the strong, stoic, serious type. Their traits complement one another so well, and it's just obvious that they were made for each other! They have a deep love for Atlanta, so we did their engagement session at Piedmont Park in Atlanta Georgia. My main focus with this short session was to show their love for one another as well as their love for Atlanta. After the shoo

Holly and Bo had a gorgeous lakeside wedding in Lake Wylie, SC. Just look at that sky! This blog post is the beginning of a rebranding era for me. I love making these memes for couples to use on their instagrams or facebook accounts, and they are taken right from the albums I create for them. Generally I like to include about 3 pages with text in a standard 8x8 album. If you would like to add me on ig my username is @jenniferobot. In the social media world we live in, being

Here are some tips for having a smooth and successful sparkler exit with beautiful pictures to take away from it! 1.) Provide lots of lighters. The most common thing I see is the sparklers will start at one end of the line, and then they will go out by the time the ones at the end of the line are lit. Make sure they are spread out, so everyone can have an easy access point to a sparkler or lighter with little wait time. 2.) Be organized! Make sure whoever is in charge of t

"Everyone has a dslr now, so why are Wedding Photographers still so darn expensive? My cousin has one and he does pretty good with his." This is a question you may hear a lot or you may have thought yourself. I want to pull the veil back for you, so that you can see what actually goes into your wedding day before, during, and after. You may be quite surprised! Here is a sneak peak of section 1 conclusion: Yearly Revenue: $72,000 Expenses: $43,308 Amount Actually Brought Ho

Part of my job as a Fine Art Wedding Photographer is setting you up to have the most success out of ALL of your pictures on your wedding day. The best way to do that is to be organized and have plans in place for every part of your day. It's not always about lighting or capturing the perfect moments-those things are extremely important; however, a little cleanliness can go a long way when it comes to the preparation/dressing pictures. These tips will also help to alleviate

I was recently contacted to do some bridal portraits at Fall's Park in Greenville SC. The bride was gorgeous, and we got some amazing shots!! Of course, being an artist first and a photographer second, I always find that the outtakes are my personal favorites from almost any shoot that I do. The first 2 photographs posted are in a different caliber of bridal photography in my opinion. They are fresh..they are inspiring...and they can elicit an emotional response or connec
