10.22.2011.Glen Kernan Golf & Country Club Wedding

The weather was cool with just the right amount of wind to stir, but not chill. Joey and the groomsmen played golf while the ladies readied themselves at the clubhouse. The bride was radiant and the ceremony was beautiful. The reception was a celebration of new family and strength in unity. The couple invited everyone to join them for a private reception at the San Sebastian Winery Rooftop Bar, then retired the clubhouse reception in a stretch limousine.

We planned for an early shoot and early was cold! The portraiture shoot was on the morning just after the first cold snap in Orlando, but the chill only added to the excitement of the shoot. The lake and sky created the perfect backdrop for a beautiful girl and I was able to capture it for her.

09.18.2011.Deerwood Park Engagement

Joey and Terri are a couple that successfully muti-tasked to manage frequent travel for work, changes in dates, times and locations and numerous bad weather days, to allow me to capture just the right moment. We were able to meet just a few steps away from their church before the Sunday evening service, and I had twenty minutes before the rain fell. It was just enough and fit perfectly into their schedule. The laughter was plentiful and the smiles were genuine. It was a great pleasure working with them and we look forward to their wedding in October.

08.20.2011.Amoré Chapel Wedding

One of America's first chapels located in the Historic First City, St. Augustine, Florida, was the setting for a beautiful ceremony at the Amoré Chapel. The bride and groom both looked incredible and the couple combined to create stunning images against the well-manicured gardens of the Lightner Museum. The ceremony ended with the couple tolling the historic wedding bell together, before family, friendship and photography against the multiple beautiful backdrops provided. For the grand finale, they rode of in a horse drawn carriage, smiling ear to ear and waving to all.

The pastor and his wife were with me as the sun rose that morning. Our session started on the dock overlooking the St. Johns River and we were greeted by the sight of fish jumping through the air. The early morning light was ambient and as the sun rose, the early morning fog traced shadows among the corpuscular rays of sunlight. Truly a beautiful couple in the perfect setting.

07.24.2011. Deception Pass Family Portraiture

The family was concerned that the threatening rain clouds would ruin our shoot. The heavy clouds actually worked to our advantage, by softening the light and shadows. The boys skipped rocks and played along the shore. Allowing for a short period of play created an excellent mood in the children, and after that, their attention was on the work at hand.

07.22.2011. Hot Air Balloon Wedding Ceremony

A bride, a groom and a hot air balloon. What an incredible combination and a beautiful wedding. The bride wore matching earrings, pendant and wedding ring that matched the grooms wedding band. The atmosphere was jovial as the guests queued up for their ride in the ballon. The event took place at Tail Skid Meadows and there were more scenic backgrounds than the wedding party and time would allow me to capture. The couple were so happy with the enourmous affair and the images we captured were amazing.

07.18.2011. Admiralty Lighouse Portraiture

Beautiful headshots have never been so easy. Its all about the subject's attitude and demeanor, and this subject was as outgoing as they come. We were able to capture twenty sets of backgrounds and three changes of clothes before the sun finally set on our adventure at the lighthouse.

Whidbey Country Club Wedding

07.16.2011. Wedding at Whidbey Golf & Country Club

The bride and groom were able to celebrate their wedding with their closest friends and family, in a beautiful country club, with lightly overcast skies. The wedding party traversed the grounds, seeking out fun and interesting scenes for me to capture my images. Youth and carefree natures' created an atmosphere of fun, fun, fun with lots of smiles and laughing.

There are two primary approaches to wedding photography that are recognized today: Traditional and Photojournalistic wedding photography. Island Photography can provide traditional wedding photography, which provides for more classically posed images and a great deal of photographer control and interaction on the day of the wedding. Island Wedding Photographer also offers photojournalistic wedding photography, which takes its cue from editorial reporting styles and focuses more on candid and unposed images with little photographer set up. These are two extremes of what Island Wedding Photography offers and our photographer services can encompass both or favor one photography style over the other. A third photography style that is becoming more and more in demand is a fashion-based approach. In contemporary/fashion-based wedding photography, photojournalistic images of the events of the day are combined with posed images that are inspired by editorial fashion photography as would be found in magazines like Vogue or Vanity Fair. Island Wedding Photography is pioneering in the local area to bring this style to the Island photography industry. Another photography term, contemporary wedding photography, is used to describe wedding photography that is not of a traditional nature. The emphasis in contemporary wedding photography is to capture the story and atmosphere from the day, so the viewer has an appreciation of what the wedding was like, rather than a series of pre-determined poses. However, this term can be mistaken by some photographers to mean any photography that is not posed or formal. Our photographer service will demonstrate this style as it is defined. The advent and advancement of digital photography cameras and increased use of the internet mean that many people can offer their photography service as wedding photographers. However, contemporary wedding photography is more than taking very formal photographs and involves the use of composition, lighting and timing to capture photography that has a strong visual appeal. For this reason, you should choose Island Wedding Photography for your wedding photographer needs and allow our photographers to surpass your expectations!!
