Trust is the key ingredient to any relationship and this is true for the relationship you have with us as your wedding photographer. There's a reason you chose us to capture the most important day of your life. While you may have a vision of how you want some of your images to turn out, for the most part, you are going to have to put a lot of trust in us, our experience, and our technical skills. Trusting us a little more in these main areas will not only result in better images for you to remember your big day by but will also relieve you of some stress as well.


Here at Southern Exposures Photography, we have over 30 years of combined experience. We are professional, qualified, skilled, and seasoned in our chosen field of photography.


Choosing the Location of the Shot

As your wedding photographer, we will take time to familiarize ourselves with your reception location as well as areas around your ceremony site to find the best places to photograph. We know what spots get the best light and where the best scenery is. Remember, we've done this over and over. It's what we do!


Time of Day to Shoot

Lighting is key to creating beautiful images and we use a combination of natural light from the sun and photography lights to produce the best lighting setting. Only shooting with natural light can pose challenges, but as professionals using both ensures we will always have the lighting we need to get the shots. We love the natural light of the sun and use it whenever possible, but that doesn't mean any time of the day will give us the same results. Gorgeous outdoor shots require certain lighting - lighting that won't leave harsh shadows on your face.


Poses

Would you believe it's the poses that feel the most awkward that usually look the best? Trust us to know what pose is the most flattering for you. They can see how the light is illuminating you and what is in the background. While some photographers will take into consideration your picture ideas, you shouldn't be offended if they shoot down your ideas. Most times you'll be working with limited time and light and you don't want to waste much of either on your big day.


Editing Your Photos

Trust us to use our creative eye during the editing process. Remember, we're your professional team and we know which images will look best in black and white, color, cropped, and which ones to add special effects to. Part of the editing process is a part of our style and this is one of the reasons you hired us. Trust us to use our skills to make each image stunning.


Handling Printing Your Photos

We use a professional lab that produces high-quality prints. Our clients appreciate a high-quality, professional end product. The worst thing you can do is have a stunning image, order a large print and find the colors are off, the image is blurred or it simply looks dull. We want you to look good, and we won't allow just any ole lab to produce your prints. We're professionals. This is part of why our clients choose professionals. Trust us and listen to what we think will look best for what you want.
