The Artistic Difference

There is an art to photography and my fingerprint will be within every file I edit. No shortcuts. Passion for your work makes all the difference among photographers. I believe your love story can become art and should live forever.

Wedding Bridals of Rose at the Hotel Palomar Dallas

Rose was so beautiful on her wedding night. She was absolutely willing to give me ten minutes during the reception for some quick wedding night bridals.

Too often, brides don't want to pull themselves away from the reception for anything. Yet, with 200 people eating from buffet service...with the bride and groom being first...there is a time lag in dining. The bride and groom are finished first. While the guests finish their meals why taking advantage of the 10-20 minutes in time?

In the video below, I captured some bridals prior to the ceremony...and got some terrific shots during the reception. The reception bridal selections you see begin with the images of Rose on her couch.

I think we should think long term with the legacy of the day you wed. These are the images you will show your children someday. Someday, you may be a grandmother (shocking possibility!) and will open a beautiful wedding book and show your grandchildren how glamorous you were back in the early part of the century! You will be so glad you did not rely on pure photojournalistic wedding photography. A little fashion photography can make you look so cool!
