F+A <3

This wedding was a wonderful whirlwind. Within less than 12 weeks, we met up with lovely F+A at Le Bon Choix on Edward Street, liaised back and forth, captured their wedding, and delivered their images.

The day was stunning and true to them. It was flawless. F+A had lined us up to capture some preparation, pre-ceremony portraiture, ceremony at the Brisbane Registry Office, and the reception at Customs House.

It was challenging for us to narrow down the images to share (we like our galleries to include something from each part of the day; however, we are also mindful that people do not usually want to scroll through 00s of images). We have collated 130-odd below.

Enjoy!

Just a couple more for good measure:

At first glance, black & white photography (or perhaps more accurately 'grayscale', as images are rarely truly black & white) can appear to be boring. Outdated or nostalgic perhaps. Or less expressive. Even forgotten. Black & white photography is synonymous with descriptors such as 'raw', 'stripped back', 'honest', & 'subtle'. In some cases, 'powerful', 'exquisite', 'iconic', & 'beautiful'. In a world full of colour, it can be challenging to fully appreciate all the variants of the colour grey (found somewhere between absolute black and absolute white).

Diane Arbus once said, “I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn’t photograph them”. We agree with the sentiment. As post-processing is such an important element of photography, we feel that there are things nobody would see unless the images were processed in a certain style. As Georgina Green, a fellow photographer, states, "Black and white images are defined in the art sphere by their ability to convey emotion. When colour is removed from a photo, the aspects that people take for granted, such as a brick wall or a blade of grass, take on a new texture and a new presence".

We're sharing some of our recent favourite grayscale images below. Typically, we deliver our full albums with some colour and some grayscale. However, feel free to let us know if you have a preference one way or another and we'll accommodate. Enjoy!
