St Louis Wedding Photography Bride Photographer Missouri Illinois
I always like to include a frame in photographs. It creates a lovely balance in each image. Trick is finding them on a rushed day.
I have a mental check list once I enter any location on the wedding day.
These are must have essential critical features that will make a photograph amazing-
1- The first on the list is light source- where is the best light coming in the room? I’m like a hound – I am obsessed with finding and using the light area with the best flow of light. That’s how I think of light- a flow.
2- Clutter- free space- I am also a furniture mover. My and my 2nd will move anything we can put of the way to get a clean space in the light flow. Don’t forget the shoes, bras, bottle, glasses, bags etc… that will be in the background.
3- Frame- I love to include a simple frame if possible. The above image has the 2 rows of light running by each other. It creates a lovely balance and is not too obvious. I actually train my eye to look for the above 3 whenever I am in a non wedding location. At the dentist, hardware store, gas station… It’s a little game I play to keep me sharp.
There are other mental checklist items which I will post in greater detail on another post. But for now, try adding the above to your mental checklist.
