Designer Spotlight: Weddingstar Goes to the Opera

As Weddingstar’s in-house photographer and videographer it’s always a welcome change of pace when I can get outside of the studio to do some on-location shooting.  This summer I was fortunate enough to head up to the Calgary Opera House to capture the behind-the-scenes action from one of our largest photo shoots for the 2012 Weddingstar magazine.

{ Inspiration } Best Wedding Day Photo Ideas


My fiancé and I recently met with a photographer to discuss getting our engagement photos taken. In preparation of the photo shoot, she asked us to come up with a collection of photos we’ve seen, like and would want to try.

And this got me thinking: why couldn’t you do the same for wedding photos?

So, I’ve put together a compilation of a few fab wedding shots I’ve seen over the past five months that really stood out against the rest. They’re unique, eye catching and totally gush worthy!

Julie and Caleb: A Colorful Chicago Engagement

OK, I know, we don’t typically feature engagement photo shoots on our blog. But this one is so absolutely stunning…and, admittedly, I’ve been gushing over engaged couples ever since my own engagement last month!

There’s no gimmicks here. No costumes, no staged backdrops — just downtown Chicago, two people in love…and a ton of outfit changes.

Julie Hilgendorf and Caleb Eplett were engaged on May 1, 2011. Continue on to READ MORE >

Mismatched with Style – A Vintage Wedding Photoshoot

Photobucket

It is not too often that I receive a submission with a staged photoshoot, and less often that I will accept them. However this particular one is so incredibly stunning, there wasn’t a chance I was going to deprive all our fabulous readers!

This vintage but ‘not your Grandma’s wedding’ style shoot was submitted by Christy Whitehead Photography. I’ll let them explain, “This was a stylized shoot that we did at an old sawmill. We had tails for the groom and a lacy dress for the bride. Handmade cameos are featured on the cake. We even had an actual family marriage certificate displayed in a frame on the sign in table. We loved the idea of mismatched place settings and the feel of you pulled this stuff out of your grandmother’s trunk. [It is] very much a possible do it yourself project on a budget.”

LeighAnn & Frank: Finally Engaged Photoshoot

Getting married isn’t just about the wedding – it’s also about the engagement. Before the rush and craze of planning a wedding sets in, you have to celebrate, create and share a few very special memories. One of the ways to do this is with an engagement shoot – and when Erica Velasco Photographers sent in this submission, I know it was the one to demonstrate why an engagement shoot can be so amazing.

The theme was Vintage Mexico – and Southern Texas was their playground. Continue on to READ MORE >

Rings and Things

The ring shot is one that almost every couple will end up with. The wedding rings captured in their shiny glory, on such an important day in a relationship, is a great keepsake to have. They’re a great addition to a photo album as the ring photograph is guaranteed to stand out!

If you want to make the most out of every photograph…

As lovely as it is to have the photograph it is usually something that is done simply with what the photographer notices is available. Often you’ll see the rings with the bouquet or in a wine glass – two things that can be found at nearly every wedding. However, if you want to make sure you have every little detail covered, you can prepare for the ring shot with only minimal planning! If you know what type of photograph you are hoping for it will make the process go that much more smoothly.

Wedding Bands and BouquetThe most common ring photograph includes the rings and the brides bouquet or some of the wedding flowers. They are of course easily included and add a little extra to the backdrop.

The Precious Rings

It is nice to have more in the photo than just the rings. Perhaps something that represents the wedding, or the couple.

I’ve put together a collection of unique ring photographs, hopefully one of them might inspire you!
