Documentary style photography is about telling a story as authentically as possible. Capturing the in between moments of stolen kisses and glances from the love of your life. Whitney and Will’s portraits were taken on a beautiful, breezy day full of emotion. When it comes to documentary style bridal portraits, there are three factors that never fail to make us FEEL: storytelling, movement and location!
Storytelling walks the line between letting the couple lead the way and giving direction. As Whitney and Will walked through the door on their cocktail hour, they took pauses to embrace each step up to their guests. By allowing the couple to focus on each other and the emotion of the moment, we, as photographers, have the opportunity to follow their lead.
Movement and location often go hand in hand. The environment you choose to capture your bridal portraits helps to reflect the personality of the couple. From the calm water surrounding them to soft breezes, a narrative slowly unfolded of a slow and peaceful love that you can feel!
