Another cool wedding detail shot Taken at The House of Refuge in Stuart Florida,
As important as anything we do, wedding details often can help tell the story of your wedding.
Many times our brides and grooms will manufacture their own signs, table favors and what not, which gives even more meaning to these amazing detail shots we are able to capture at weddings. The beach venues like the house of refuge allow for even more of these creations due to the ceremony location being up the beach slightly.
Get creative! We love to see your take on the beach wedding motif!
The house of refuge is one of the many historic landmarks along our storied beaches. With its unique rocky formations and outcroppings, and the iconic watch tower the photo opportunities abound. Dont forget, right across the street is the indian river, and an cool dock and its own mini beaches. This can really come in handy when the wind picks up off the ocean, as the riverside is much more sheltered. Affording an entirely different set of wedding portraits from the beach itself, all in a tidy 20 minutes or so. Top that off hopefully with a great sunset and you'll see why the House of Refuge is so very popular. Its also one of the more affordable seaside beach venues on the east coast.
We take capturing your wedding details very seriously. We realize that quite often you may have even produced these yourself. Even if you purchased them, a lot of time and emotional energy usually goes into picking out the perfect pieces. I’m sure you laughed about them, argued about which ones best fit your wedding theme, and ultimately tied that theme together. Kind of like that song from high school, that brings you back every time you hear it, these bridal details have that same ability. For that reason we always try to capture them in some artful way, and then assemble the best of them for use in your bridal album.
When we create your wedding album design, typically the very first two page spread is dedicated to paying homage to those very detail shots. Depending upon the wedding, there may be an additional spread later in the album dedicated to the reception details if the situation calls for it. To us, your wedding album should flow and tell the story of your day. As such, following the detail page, the order of events will follow the same order in the book as it occurred throughout your day.
Some of the major wedding day themes may be:
Bride getting ready usually 2-3 spreads
Brides portraits
Bride and the girls messing around
Groom getting ready
Grooms portraits
Grooms and the guys messing around
First Look
Down the aisle
Your Ceremony itself may be 2-5 spreads
Bride and Groom formals
Bridal Party Formals in various combinations
Brides side of the family formals
Grooms side of the family formals
Fun with the bridal party pix
Romantic portraits with the bride and groom, may be 2 -5 spreads
Reception details
Introductions
First Dance
Parents dances
Toasts
Cake cutting
Bouquet and Garter toss
Dancing and partying of course!
Closing dances
Exit and bon voyage!
As you can see that becomes a long list very quickly. Which is why we recommend adding as many pages to your album as you can so we can let your images have the real estate to do them justice in the album, and not make it too crammed so it ends up looking like a scrap book. (just kidding it would never do that) but you get the idea…some of the stronger images are best served by themselves while others can be combined quite naturaly for a very effective story telling album design. You may want to check out our Featured Weddings section. What you see there, is the actual wedding album page designs for those couples. That way you can really get the idea of just what your album design will resemble.
Kinda makes sense right?
