Fireworks have a way of transforming an ordinary night into a spectacle of light and color. If the wedding venue permits, our photographers coordinate with the the fireworks team to capture this breathtaking display. We love to capture both the fireworks and the couple’s reactions!

3. Cellphone Flash

SHINING LIGHT ON CREATIVITY: THE POWER OF CELLPHONE FLASH IN LOW-LIGHT

In the age of smartphones, the built-in flash can be a useful tool for capturing low-light moments at weddings. Our photographers experiment with using the cellphone flash to create dramatic lighting effects or to illuminate specific details. Furthermore, these images will showcase your love in a unique and contemporary way.

4. Direct Flash and Multiple Exposure

EMBRACING ARTISTIC EXPRESSION WITH DIRECT FLASH AND MULTIPLE EXPOSURE MAGIC!

Multiple exposure photography isn’t limited to just the daytime. Additionally, we embrace the dramatic effects of direct flash in your night time images on the dance floor or when we are able to sneak away with our couples for a sunset session on their wedding day. However, adding multiple exposure into the mix creates some visually stunning images! We experiment with different angles, shadows, and compositions to create visually striking photographs with a paparazzi type feel! We love how artistic and storytelling these photographs can be and the emotions they evoke.

5. String Lights

CAPTURING THE FAIRY-LIT ROMANCE: STRING LIGHTS AS A DREAMY BACKDROP

String lights are a staple at weddings, and they offer endless possibilities for creative night time photography. We incorporate them into wedding photo by framing our couples within the soft glow of the lights or using them as a backdrop for portraits. Experimenting with bokeh effects, and capturing the delicate and dreamy out-of-focus lights. These images will evoke a sense of romance and create a warm and magical ambiance.
