Let's Talk About Black & White

I LOVE color. I have seen some fabulously done black and white photographs. Here's looking at you, Ansel Adams. However, I am first and foremost a lover of color photos. This doesn't mean you will receive only color photos when you get your USB. Some photos I take knowing I will be making into a black and white photo in post-production, a few I decide on once I see the photo.
Most or all photographers take great care in their black and white post production, or setting up the black and white in camera. This is why it pains me to see one of my photos with a "black and white filter", possibly done on an iPad or a kiosk (you know how much I love those). Photographers have a specific style of shooting and also post processing. I'll share my personal black and white interpretation, though there are so many amazing styles, you'll notice as in all of my editing I lean toward a vintage black and white. 

So, what can you do if you see one of your photos that you think would look great in black and white? Avoid hitting the "black and white" button. Instead, you can ask your photographer to process it for you.  I would be happy to.

Oh yeah, one more thing... please don't do this:

I thank you, and your photos thank you.

Here comes the....Flowers!!

There are a few things that I look forward to seeing at each wedding, I suppose just like any guest. Of course the big thing is the dress. I always wonder what dress the bride picked out, and how they are going to do their hair. I love watching the bride transform on their day. I also love flowers and love taking pictures of flowers. If you follow my IG account... you are very well aware of this. So I thought I'd make a blog post highlighting the beautiful flowers that my brides chose for their big day. I didn't include all of them, they are somewhat at random, and I didn't include some of my most recent weddings. Maybe there will need to be a Part 2.
So in celebration of Spring. I present.. Wedding Bouquets.

 The younger sister was hard at work the before the ceremony designing these beautiful daisy bouquets. Several months later I (also the younger sister) found myself with the same job at my sisters wedding, putting together her rose bouquets. (Slightly more painful)

 After a destination wedding this bride and groom kept the theme going at their reception back here in the States. There were beautiful exotic orchids featured throughout the decor.

 Before this particular wedding, if you had asked me if I liked fake flowers. You would have heard a resounding "no". But then this happened and it changed my outlook on flowers. These centerpieces were made out of sheets of music, since music was a big part of the bride and grooms life. I fell in love with these.

Samantha + Ron's Wedding, Quakertown, PA

What a Special Day for Sam and Ron, and it was a special day for me as well! I got to celebrate my own Anniversary, March 8, by capturing the love of a new couple! It was clear to me by the end of the day that Sam and Ron had spent their day surrounded by friends and family who loved them and loved celebrating their beautiful day with them.
