Wedding First Look Wedding couples hire me for my ability to document, candid moments and show how the day feels in addition to what happened. One of my favorite moments to photograph is a First Look. When a wedding couple will see each other before the ceremony I’ll arrange a time and place for them to see each other for the first time called a First Look. This is a great opportunity to get natural expressions and emotions so I love when couples decide to do this. All the formal portraits are done before the ceremony so everyone can enjoy the […]

Wedding photos at Stone Mountain Park

Not every bride gets to wear her dress again but Julia put her dress on for the 3rd time to participate in my portfolio shoot at Stone Mountain Park. I love her pink gown with fitted bodice and layered skirt. I am always trying to improve my craft so often take photography seminars on topics such as lighting, posing or post processing. Afterwards I schedule a portfolio shoot to practice. If you want to know about my upcoming portfolio shoots, make sure you’re on my Casting Call email list.

Almost Alone

Taking a Few Intimate Moments Together Months of meticulous planning have come to this: a chorus of I do’s and being announced as husband & wife. Your emotions are high as you exit your ceremony, followed closely by your wedding party, parents & special guests. A sea of arms reach out to hug you. You hear congratulations and well wishes as if it were surround sound. Coordinators have you on a tight schedule so you’re ushered off for a round of family portraits. Next thing you know, your list of portraits has quadrupled as everyone wants to take a picture with the bride & groom. You’re getting tired of smiling for the camera and you’re pretty thirsty & hungry by now. As you wrap up the wedding party photos, you’re ready to go to your reception and celebrate. But wait.

Atlanta Wedding Inspiration: Motion Blur

by Nneka August 16, 2011 in Blog, Wedding Style, Weddings 1 comments tags: creative wedding photos, wedding inspiration, wedding photo, wedding portraits

My goal in creating wedding photos is to give the viewer a since of what it felt like to be present in that wedding. There is always a lot of energy and excitement going on and one technique I occasionally use to capture that is motion blur. Motion blur is the intentional use of blur to imply movement. There are a variety of ways to use but I especially love motion blur on the dance floor. We’re used to seeing those moments frozen, but sometimes it’s nice to see the movement. There are some tricks to pulling this off and it doesn’t always work, but when it does, it can be a nice and unique way to preserve a moment.

Atlanta Weddings: Flare

So another technique I like to incorporate is the use of flare in my portraits. Flare is the circles of light you get when you shoot towards the sun (or any light source). It’s caused when light bounces around inside the lens and hits the film or digital sensor. If it’s too much light or at the wrong angle it can ruin a photo. Done correctly it can really add a beautiful element. Here are a few examples.

Atlanta Wedding Inspiration: Reflections

by Nneka May 31, 2011 in Blog, Wedding Style 1 comments tags: atlanta wedding photographer, creative wedding photos, engagement portraits, wedding inspiration

I love incorporating reflective surfaces into portraits. Mirrors are the most common but any shiny surface like glass, polished stone or even water will do. I generally have to see the image in my mind before I can place the subjects and frame the shot. Check out a few of my favorite photos which incorporate reflections.
