About Bubbly Bride

Let the sun shine in...and let the sun shine in at the just the right angle to create fabulous wedding images! Shadows are a way of creating emotion, highlighting the main part and adding an interesting twist to your shot. Wedding photographers can truly show off their skills by finding the light and manipulating it to return not only interesting but memorable photographs.
I attached some of my favorite shadow inspirations I found that use shadows in a variety of ways. Try taking any of these and turning them black and white for an even more dramatic take on the shadow effect.
Quick Tip: Listen To Your Photographer!

Brilliant! I love "shadow pictures" with the groom and groomsmen and also the couple getting ready to kiss. It's nice to have variety in your wedding album...sepia, black and white, grey, faded edges, and regular photos.
One of the main reasons I chose the photographers I did was the work they did with shadows and black and white. Being of a slightly darker personality, I not only want to capture the intense joy of the day, but the drama of it too: the lifetime commitment, our quiet contentment we share...
As an amateur photographer myself, I spent a lot of time shooting black and white film in high school (before photoshop made it possible to turn ANY shot black and white), and I loved the way it made me think about everything in terms of light.
The shadows look really cool. I had never thought of that as an option in wedding pictures, but it gives the photographs a more artistic feel.
Nice photos to share! See how cool men with silk ties!
About photography: when making a professional pictures-one need a lot of light. Correct lighting makes all the difference. Please see my work (I took some pictures of scarves and shawls) at http://www.venerastore.com Best light is the natural light. On the clear day you take some very good picture. For the shadow to appear and to be long as shown on some of this pictures - sun needs to be coming up or going down. (you will not have enough light in these conditions. Also, I see that some of these pictures were with the camera looking at the light! These pictures should be very dark, ad camera doesn't like the light, yet they appear to be bright. May I assume what photo shop was used to doctor these pictures? Again, I know what doing is more difficult then talking about it, so if you want to see my "doing" you can see some pictures of the scarves and shawls I took.
Thank you, Oleg.
