The kids wanted to have a “wedding” today. Micah even showed up in a tux!
With our nanny being who she is and our careers being in the wedding world, we decided to play up their request! We grabbed flowers from the bushes in the front yard. We took our dining room chairs out. The kids wanted to bring out candles for an alter. Harper wore a little white dress and they even made little invitations! Michael played real wedding music and it was the most precious thing EVER!
I literally just snapped a few photos thinking “This will be cute in the family yearbook!” but then I jokingly asked “Should I blog it?!” on Instagram and people said yes! Hilarious!
Ok, but on a more serious note, photographers…. pay close attention here: If I can take 4minutes worth of pictures of KIDS getting married in a pretend wedding and actually create a somewhat editorial style blog post from it, there is NO excuse for those of us that need portfolio images! Here are some things we can learn from a pretend wedding in my front yard:
You may think this is funny and just cute… but here’s there is actually A LOT we can learn from this!!!! Enjoy Micah and Harper’s pretend, front yard wedding!
Ps. All of these are edited with the “Golden Warm Fine Art” option in Step Three of the Preset Process!!
As a professional photographer, I’ve had the privilege of capturing countless family portraits over the years. Each session presents a unique set of challenges, from managing energetic children to finding the perfect backdrops.
As a photographer, I’ve often found myself in situations where the location seemed lackluster or uninspiring. It’s easy to get caught up in the pursuit of the perfect setting, but the reality is that we don’t always have the luxury of shooting in the most visually stunning locations.
We rescheduled this shoot with the Smith family once because of a threat of rain. It wasn’t a totally horrible forecast but if there’s one thing that I learned about Colleen when I photographed her wedding, it’s that she loves the GLOW!
What’s better than doing a family session for one KJ couple? Photographing TWO and adding in Nonna and Grandpa!
As a professional wedding photographer, I’ve encountered my fair share of editing challenges on the job.
Have you ever closed out of Lightroom unhappy with the end result?
