Editorial-Inspired Luxury Wedding Photography
Expanding beyond the realm of disciplined execution, our approach to editorial wedding photography incorporates fashion-based direction into the celebration. Fine art luxury wedding photography is designed through the use of magazine-style portraiture, refined composition, and bridal styling based on the aesthetic expectations of Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. Ballroom lighting, posing, and styling of flat lays are critical elements of ensuring the couture elements and design-based elements are presented in the best possible manner. This approach ensures the image is not relegated to the realm of documentation, creating high-end visuals based on the expectations of the estate weddings in Florida.
