What I offer as a wedding Photographer and What I posted on my www.Facebook.com/CoutureBridalPhotography Page

 Couture Bridal Photography images are creative, clean and crisp. They’re romantic, fun, and emotional. The Couture Bridal Photography name is known for developing a unique style of wedding photography that is deeply rooted in wedding photojournalism while influenced by fine-art and fashion photography. I pride myself on not just being photographer, but rather an artist creating unique and expressive imagery.

What exactly does all of this mean? Well, let’s get into the specifics of what makes our style unique. Here are the 10 main differentiation factors and techniques that differentiate Couture Bridal Photography from the rest.

CREATIVE COMPOSITIONS

Always in search of reflections, silhouettes, foregrounds, perfect symmetry, and juxtapositions, my style is deeply rooted in creativity. As we’re shooting, you’ll see me sneaking behind objects, shooting off mirrors, and running around to achieve different perspectives.

The idea is to turn ordinary into extraordinary through finding the interest of the composition in a scene that the average eye may not notice.

PHOTOJOURNALISM

Wedding Photojournalism takes awareness of surroundings, knowledge of human tendencies, and patience. Each image I take serves a purpose and has a point. Each image captures an emotion, tells a story, or portrays a mood or feeling. That’s why you won’t see me taking random images, for example, you stuffing your face with food or staring off into space.
I'm always paying close attention to environment, listening in on conversations and anticipating that smile, laugh, tear, or hug. I have my crop in mind, my lighting set up perfectly, and I'm waiting for that expression.
HDR WEDDING AND ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY
“Save the skies!” is one of the themes of my photography. Instead of the white, blown-out skies that you might see in the work of other photographers, I put an emphasis on bringing out those beautiful sunsets, clouds, and backgrounds.
One of the methods I use is called HDR (High Dynamic Range), an advanced technique that involves taking three consecutive exposures and layering them in post production. I have developed a unique style of HDR wedding photography that maintains a natural feel, while producing dramatic effects and capturing all of the detail.
NIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY
My passion for understanding lighting and camera equipment has helped me develop a style of night photography that exposes for stunning backgrounds, creates a dramatic effect, and maintains a natural feel to the image.
Notice that we’re not creating harsh, flash lighting on our subjects. Furthermore, the backgrounds and lights in dark scenes are not only visible, but play an integral part in the composition of the images.
NATURAL POSING
Whether you’re stiff as a board or used to being in front of the camera, I'll make sure we give you as much direction as you need to create natural, comfortable poses.
I'm always paying attention to things like overly puckered lips, unflattering angles, and other awkward expressions. At the same time, I'm creating an environment where you’re comfortable and your personalities and affection are the focal point of the image. I'll also be sure to come up with poses that focus on your positive physical aspects.
ADVANCED FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY
I also use flash photography to create interest in daytime and nighttime scenes. For example, sometimes I’ll introduce a flash flare into the scene to add interest to a first dance or a toast.
Other times I’ll introduce intentional mixed lighting to create interesting effects. And another method I use to “save the skies” is using daytime flash techniques to bring out the subjects while exposing properly for the dramatic backgrounds.
WE HAVE FUN
I love setting up scenes where you and your family/friends can be silly, fun, and playful. Whether you’re jumping, doing silly poses, or expressing some inside jokes between you and your friends, I’ll be sure to have a great time during our couples session and our wedding party session.
In some scenes, the idea sometimes is to get you out of your comfort zone by getting you to do something silly, ridiculous, or even inappropriate. During those moments, and especially in between, I'm snapping away to get those smiles and natural emotions.

ADVANCED POST PRODUCTION

Whether it’s adding textures, adding grain, removing blemishes, or any other advanced Photoshop and Lightroom effects, I've studied and mastered these techniques and applied it to my wedding photography. While my preference is to have the majority of my images remain natural, vibrant and colorful, once in a while I’ll throw in a certain effect to complete our artistic vision of the image.
DETAILS DETAILS DETAILS
You’ve spent thousands of dollars on the details of your wedding like the rings, floral arrangements, centerpieces, venues, candy bars, etc. I'm not going to let it slip past me!
I will capture the details of your wedding with the same attention and with many of the same techniques as I've described above. Your day moves quickly and while you may not have the time to sit back and fully appreciate your cake, I’ll be sure to have gorgeous pictures of it.
And don’t forget, I take some pretty cool ring shots.
My Client Service Philosophy
I believe that in hiring a professional wedding photographer, clients deserve a professional that is able to use his or her technological expertise and creative vision to create a product that clients and amateur photographers could not on their own. With digital SLR cameras becoming more and more affordable, there are many amateur photographers out there posing as professionals. My goal (Couture Bridal Photography) is to educate our clients on the differences, and provide artistic imagery that far surpasses other top notch wedding photography businesses.

Therefore, my wedding photography philosophy has three primary parts as follows:
Wedding photographers are artists and therefore must have a deep understanding of artistic theory including concepts on composition, lighting, color, design, balance, etc.
Wedding photographers should be using professional grade camera(Canon) and lighting equipment.
Wedding photographers are constantly in unusual lighting situations with significant time constraints, thus wedding photographers must be masters of their equipment. Being able to quickly adjust camera settings, anticipate lenses needed for each scene, use on and off-camera lighting techniques, etc. are crucial to being able to consistently create a professional product.

MY CLIENT SERVICE PHILOSOPHY

In the end, My philosophy on client service creates wonderful friendships with each and every one of my clients that goes far beyond the day of your wedding.
