As photographers, we use a lot of terminology that you may not understand. This article is to help you get to know some of our terms in regard to your wedding photography. read more
Choosing the wrong sized outfits – Choose lingerie that is just the right size for you. You don’t want loose lingerie that gives your body no shape or hides your beautiful curves. On the other hand, lingerie that is too tight can be unflattering. Heavy Makeup – We strongly recommend getting a makeup artist for your session. You don’t want to slather the makeup on too thickly. It’s more about accentuating your natural features and making you feel – and look – stunning. Forg[...]

The entire time these two were picking on each other, and I was there to catch it all on camera. I thought it was particularly funny when Colton would take all my prompts and direction so seriously. You can see the focus plainly on his face in certain pictures! Barbara said her favorite part of the session was “Directions from Brennan, she is too funny!” These two are officially tying the knot by eloping at an (undisclosed) location in Durham, so wish them lo[...]

We’re here today to talk about wedding day prep. Here are some tips to help you look and feel your best. Tanning: If you’re going to tan before the wedding, be sure to avoid tan lines – especially if you have a strapless dress. If you’re getting married in the summer, make sure that in the two to three months leading up to your wedding you’re tanning evenly to avoid tan lines. Hair & Makeup: Get your hair and makeup professionally done. Be sure to do a trial runb[...]
