Dazzling Wedding in the Mountains

by

Anne’s wedding was at the beautiful Mt. Washington Resort in Bretton Woods, N.H. If you haven’t been, it’s definitely a place to put on your bucket list. From breath taking views in every direction, grand architecture, plethora of shops, a restaurant, and fun activities such as, horse drawn carriage rides and golfing. This makes this venue the ideal spot for any event or session.

You can pick either the balcony on the first floor or the rooftop for ceremonies. Anne’s ceremony and cocktail hour was on the balcony, since it was a smaller wedding, with about 20 people in attendance. After the ceremony, we were able to utilize the rooftop for group and couple images, which came out beautifully. Even though it was windy we were able to capture stunning images with the beautiful mountains in the background.

As I’m looking over the gallery, one thing that I noticed and loved most about her wedding, was that everyone was genuinely happy to be there which is evident in all our images. It was a relaxed and joyful celebration that everyone rejoiced in. Since it was a small wedding there was a lot of time to enjoy the scenery and take images at their own pace. Truly a classic and elegant wedding.

Key Ways We Capture Genuine Emotion

by

Whether its your wedding day, portrait session, or milestone event, we strive to capture emotive images that tells the story. To accomplish this we have to make sure our clients are happy and comfortable to be able to capture their pure and natural emotions. Over the years we’ve gathered a lot of experienced and came up with a few ways we achieve this goal.

  1. We get to know our clients– We aren’t just a shoot and burn business. We are a professional full time photography company, so it’s important to us that we get to know who we are working with and that they get to know us. It’s a partnership. Some of the ways we accomplish this is through phone calls, meeting, in person sessions, questionairres, just to name a few. The more we interact with each other, the easier it is to relax and capture emotive images.
  2. Sometimes it’s good to be a wall flower– If someone doesn’t feel comfortabe you can’t capture their true and raw emotions. We approach our clients and their guests in a very gentle way. We act like wall flowers. We move around each event in a delicate way, never forcing someone to take a picture or make them feel uncomfortable. This way everyone can enjoy the event and we can capture their genuine smiles and laughs.
  3. We encourage you to enjoy yourselves and have fun– We use our humor to make our clients laugh and feel relaxed. This may seem like a given, though this extends much farther than you may think. Being able to make small talk with each other can relax the clients and help them feel comfortable during the session, which is very helpful with the comfortability of our clients.
  4. Directing the couple in a gentle way– This helps us pose our clients in a way that feels natural and comfortable for them. Posing makes or breaks an image. So while it is important for our clients to pose in a natural way, sometimes we may need to push them slightly out of their comfort zones, but in an inviting and comforting way. We try to ease our clients into posing by complimenting them or saying something comforting.
  5. We are prepared to capture spontaneous moments– Anything can happen during a session so we are ready to capture everything, which is the biggest reason why we usually have two photographers at our jobs. We encourage spontaneous moments by having the couple or the group look at each other and talk amongst themselves, which generally makes everyone laugh and smile.
  6. Use natural light to enhance the warmth and seritonin– It is said to be true that daylight and natural light releases more seritonin into our brain. So we try to incorporate as much natural lighting into our sessions as we can to help our clients feel happy and more secure. Fresh air and warmth is always fulfilling and makes our clients feel content.
