Couture Bridal Photography wedding Delray Beach, Florida October 2013
I was contacted to photograph a vintage themed beach wedding in Delray Beach, Florida. The bride had found me, Couture Bridal Photography (Alfredo Valentine) during a google search and loved my photography. I consulted with her and the soon to be groom and she explained to me how she wished to make her wedding and wedding photo's have a vintage old world feel.

On the wedding day the bride chose to hire me for the whole day to capture her transformation with make up hair and dress. I met with the bride to be at her hotel room and arranged the room for the best possible lighting which at the time was window light coming from a west slide glass window. I love window light for its soft, yet dramatic qualities. The light complemented the brides complexion and added depth to the images.

The goal was to photograph the groom as well, but he chose at the last minute to stay in Plantation, Florida, so I wasn't able to capture images of him getting ready for his big wedding day. I continued to spend time with the bride and capture various details such as the rings, dress and shoes.

I photographed the rings on various surfaces to give the bride photo options for her GraphiStudio photo book she had already decided she would purchase. The dress was placed in front of the window and I over exposed the image, so that in post production, I could bring back the dress details. The bride loved the creativity I used to show how beautiful her vintage styled dress was.
When the brides make up was done we then took to the lobby of the Marriott Hotel Delray Beach for some fun photos and the challenge was to give the images a vintage feel. I explained to the bride that she had to try and feel like she was in the 30's and 40's when she posed. I also directed her and I used off camera flash and various window light for the images throughout the lobby on the way to the beach ceremony.

On the way to the Beach ceremony with the Bride the groom made his appearance. It didn't leave me much time to photography him in great detail, but I photographed what I could to make sure he made an appearance in the couples GraphiStudio Album.
