Dallas Wedding Photographers of the Week

Annalise was a pleasure to photograph. The Spring flowers complimented her golden hair and fun was had by all. So it only made sense to incorporate nature into her bridal portraits.

Dallas Wedding Photographers know that you cannot take the combination of a beautiful bride, beautiful weather and a beautiful setting for granted. I will let the photos speak for themselves.

Brides, if you want your Dallas wedding photography to put you in the best light for beautiful memories, contact our wedding photography studio at 214-703-0360 for a free consultation by a professional wedding photographer.

Dallas Wedding Photography Of The Week

This is the Bridal Portrait of the week by Mark. "I photographed this bride on an overcast day in February. To many photographers, that would have lessened the image, but I shoot in RAW mode -- the highest quality. That lets me warm the image back up to normal sunlight, with no loss in quality and no harsh shadows," says the master wedding photographer.

"Add to that my proprietary photo processing techniques learned in the Commercial Model world of Los Angeles, brought back to Dallas and you have a touching work of art," he confides.

"Brides nationwide value my experience and want to look their very best in their photos -- who can blame them? I limit the weddings I accept to devote the time for truly beautiful and artistic fine wedding photography. Sure it costs more and takes more effort, but their happiness is worth it. After all, these are probably the most important photographs of their lives and they will treasure these beautiful memories through my wedding photography and share it with their kids and family."

We will look forward to more "Dallas Bridal Portrait of the week" photographs in weeks to come!

Outdoor Spring Bridal Portraits - Dallas

Spring is a wonderful time for love... and bridal portraits. I prefer to take Dallas bridal portraits outdoors in a natural setting. I make use of a light and airy portrait technique to give the bridal portrait an open and fresh feel.

See more Dallas bridal portrait samples at this link.

In fact, outdoor weddings make for beautiful wedding photography opportunities. I can step back an zoom in to capture the facial expressions without anyone noticing. As the wedding photographer I know how to make the most of light and composition for beautiful results.

An outdoor bridal portrait or wedding allows vivid color and the natural beauty of your surroundings to accentuate the love in the air. The need for a flash in your wedding photography is lessened and natural light adds to a sense of freedom that will show in your wedding album.

As a plus, all our wedding photography packages come with online galleries of all your photos to make sharing your beautiful images with everyone, there or not, very simple.

Q. What is the best advice you can give us?
Perhaps two pieces of advice I can give are:
First: let it be light! By planning the wedding Ceremony during daylight hours and making sure the Reception lighting is not completely dimmed you will help me s to minimize the use of flashes. Your photographs will look more natural and more attractive plus your guests will suffer less from bright flashes.

The second advice is: limit the guest photography. The atmosphere of your Ceremony affected already by the presence of hired photographers, assistants and videographers. Now imagine guests standing around you entire Ceremony with flashing and beeping consumer cameras, preventing a photographer from taking important images and interfering with your elegant ceremony atmosphere. It not only will distract bridal party from looking at the main camera, but will also extend the session itself, taking away precious time that could be spent celebrating with family and guests.
