Styled Wedding Photoshoot-United 2014-Santa Barbara

Styled Wedding Photoshoot

Another post about my wonderful time in Santa Barbara at the Fess Parker Inn.  The purpose of a styled wedding photoshoot is something different than a normal wedding day.  First it is something that a bunch of people get together and figure out in this case Stephanie Williams at Handlebar Studios organized everything.  We get models and dresses to the location then a several of us get to practice our craft.  Stephanie was great in that she created a great details table, gathered our models and showed us various ways to incorporate what we learned in the Styled Wedding Photoshoot.  House of Style in San Diego helped with getting brides dressed and the dresses were truly stunning.

The styled wedding photoshoot had a number of great photos.  We practiced using full natural sun lighting and really working with the models to create movement.  I loved getting the opportunity to “Trash the Dress”.  It was a lot of fun and our model was so cold and brave at just sitting in the water and letting the sand and surf get all over the dress.

Several great suggestions came up during the Styled Wedding Photos.  First was keep your clients (Bride and Grooms) moving and feeling the moment that they are in.  Don’t be afraid to shoot into a full low sun and to get some backlighting too.  All great suggestions and luckily I got a few of each.
