Photoshoot and Beyond
Category: Wedding Photographer: Drew Gregory I chose this photo because of the overwhelming skill Drew showed in balancing the bright back light with the bridal party’s skin tones. When there’s such strong light in the middle of the day, it can be very tricky to overcome the dark shadows that would naturally occur, without making…
Category: Wedding Photographer: Thomas Pivovarnik I chose this photo because it is a beautifully classic moment that Thomas captured expertly. He captured joy and excitement. Everything is clear and in focus, which I can tell you is not always easy when the rice is being thrown. Sometimes focusing systems get tricked with all the moving…
Category: Wedding Photographer: Brennan Schnell I chose this moment because of the playfulness it showed. Weddings don’t always have to be about smiling faces or romance. The couple Brennan was photographing obviously had a style all their own. Her, a vintage flair, him, his Scottish heritage evident in a kilt. I like when photographers pay…
Bridal Shows. Most photographers love to hate them. They’re tedious. They’re expensive. They waste a perfectly good Sunday afternoon that you could be spending with your family or shooting a session you are really excited about.

For whatever reason, creatives especially seem to have trouble with the concept of being open. Consequently, it…
Category: Wedding Photographer: Alex Singh I chose this image because Alex captured a beautiful serene and reflective moment from the bride. With 12 years of photographing brides, these moments don’t happen often, naturally. Alex did a beautiful job framing the bride among the foliage and exposing for a beautiful skin tone despite the challenges spotty…
Category: Wedding Photographer: Collin Hughes I chose this image because I love the emotion it captures. It feels like you’re peeking in on a very real moment of joy between the couple.

Category: Wedding Photographer: Hugo Hernandez I chose this image because of the drama. The deep shadows with the perfectly balanced highlights is captivating. It reminds me of early film noir. The catchlights in the bride’s teary eyes are a beautiful detail. Photo originally shared on our Photofocus Flickr Page here. To learn how your work…
I grew up an “art kid”. I was always in love with art class. I took up drawing and painting at an early age. My parents always enrolled me in some sort of after school or summer art program. As I got older, I focused on every honors and advanced placement art class I could…
