Hope this finds everyone well and happy! :)
We have recently shared a few things about us and our priorities, including this list for why we provide two shooters as part of our wedding package. However, one topic we have not discussed yet is what motivates us in this field of wedding photography. So, we sat down and came up with a few primary motivators.
Therefore, please find below just some of the things that motivate us:
The fact that documenting your love through visual storytelling is a huge privilege!
The people we shoot with - encompassing both clients and fellow vendors. You are all a source of inspiration and never-ending wonderful ideas.
The creation of something that we want you to look back on for years to come and enjoy. This is crucial for us. We choose not to get swept up in current editing trends or genres, for example, as it is only a matter of time, and that particular style will no longer be in vogue. We want our work to be as timeless as the choice you make to love each other.
Working with the numerous factors that come into play - in most cases - for an image to be memorable (lighting, composition, and so on). Working within these well-documented parameters to create something magical & unique is an opportunity we welcome.
How easy it is to get lost in the moment. It is not uncommon for us to find cuts and bruises that we didn’t realise that we had acquired during a shoot! We honestly just get lost in the moment and the combination of the distraction & the natural high kicks in.
We are both romantics at heart; weddings are so full of energy and love, and it is hard not to get excited about that.
The personal challenge to create something fresh. Part of the work that goes on behind the scenes is researching whatever venue we are shooting at, for example. We do this so that we don’t overlook anything our client might want. However, we also do this to challenge ourselves to produce something we didn’t find in our research. Ultimately, we don’t want to get lost in the crowd.
Our beautiful city of Brisbane, Queensland! So many photogenic nooks and crannies in and around our hometown. :)
Oh, and detail shots of delicious food… but that’s more me (Em) talking here ;)
