Sometimes dressing up works perfect on an engagement shoot. Your photographer needs to have this shoot to get to know you. The best photographers do the engaement shoot for free for this purpose. This bride also said she wanted documentary only shots and loved sepia and black and white. Since the photographer knew this, she portrayed this look in her photos. Communicate with your photographer.
"It's all about the photos" Daniel touted to me when I first arrived at this wedding. Meghan had a smaller budget, went small in areas that weren't as meaningful and went big in places that were, like decorations by Rene Landry Style and Photography and photography by Julie Dreelin's Beach Productions. We love the background for the ceremony she put up that doubled as a back to a mini "photo" booth with chalk and board that they played with all night taking funny photos - Meghan's own idea of bringing boots and ballons to the beach made the entire beach session turn out like a fashion shoot!
We've always found that the color palette of blue is a tough one. Danielle, our feature do-it-yourself bride of the summer(Aug 2009 Wedding) did a fantastic job of finding blue in things besides flowers or candles. We love the parasol idea!
