Finding color on a black and white photo plus putting the wedding gown on the spotlight . I know I mentioned how wedding gowns with colored sashes became popular sometime ago, a black and white photo won’t really flatter this sort of design.
But I found out that it’s not totally impossible. Photographers can actually still make the color pop out of a black and white photo. They call it color separation, I think.
This certainly makes a more interesting photo. Not only does it offer a very artistic angle to a wedding photo, it also highlights the design of wedding gown …read more

One of the best ways for you to add a little detail to make your wedding a little more personal especially if we’re talking about the experience that your guests will bring with them when the celebrations are over, is the wedding favor.

Maybe you have thought of putting together something like this for your wedding or maybe not but I think it’s good to put the word out there that there are couples who opt to set aside a day or two for a session during their busy pre-wedding schedule.
On top of the engagement photo session, if the people you hired offer this service, it’ll be a good thing to consider. Include a pre-wedding/engagement cinematography session, too.

Setting the mood. You know how when you look at some photos from a friend’s or family member’s wedding you feel that the poses are too orchestrated, stiff and would give you this impression that though the wedding celebration was fun, the photos weren’t able to relay that sort of festive mood?
It goes the same if you want to remember your own wedding to have that romantic mystery, solemn elegance, or perhaps shadows that will generate enough curiosity from the person looking at them.
