dark side
When you peruse wedding blogs & magazines, the vast majority of wedding photos are light, airy & sunny. I haven't conducted an official study or anything but, in general, I'm pretty sure this statement rings true. Now the dark side of weddings can be just as incredible with black skies & dramatic lighting. Here's some love for dark, moody & romantic wedding photos!!
The happy couple (me & my hubs!!) posing by their bright yellow cab on a cobblestone street really shine against the glittering downtown Manhattan skyline & blackish-brown skies:
The colorful lights of the Ferris Wheel add a whimsical touch to a nighttime wedding portrait:
A Bride & Groom look downright angelic surrounded by a burst of white light in an otherwise dark photo:
A sparkly heart makes for a lighthearted nighttime wedding portrait:
The Bride & Groom are the focal point of a dark perspective on a wedding portrait:
I love how the darkness & the light truly create dramatic wedding photos. Very different, very cool. Do you love the dark side of wedding photography?
