Ashley and Jeff just got married, and before their wedding, they came in for some fun and amazing photographs. I photographed them at my studio location both inside using various sets, as well as outside, even though it was cold. The results were stunning!
This was one of my favorites! They look so great together, and the image is so loving! And notice how almost all of their favorites were black and white. Black and white has such a timeless quality, yet it is hip too. It is a great mix of classic and new, all in one.
I love these of Ashley alone. So beautiful!
And then we ventured outside. I have a half-acre of English-garden style landscaping, but in the winter it’s not green and lush. However, it is always interesting and beautiful in black and white. Here’s what we created. First this series of three images which will hang in a trio.
And finally we finished with them running off down my country street, as if they were running off to get married.
It was a great shoot and they’re a great couple! I’m so happy that they found each other and I know that they will make each other very happy.
If you’re getting married and would like a pre-wedding session, give me a call. 801-728-3317. A pre-session with Bry Cox Studio, is a great way to have cool portraits up at your wedding, as well as taking the pressure off of your wedding, no matter who you hire for your day. Pre-sessions cost less than weddings, and are much more stress-free than a wedding — there’s no rush for time like on a wedding day, and no one’s coming to talk to you or interrupt you constantly like on wedding days. And when they’re done at my studio location, we have the most variety of backgrounds both inside and out, without any travel fees!
Well thanks for looking and please browse my main website at BryCox.com (or my entire blog if you’re reading this in a separate feed reader BryCox.com/blog).
The design is so fun, so fresh, and really captivates the love and emotions of the wedding day. We really lucked out that day with a spectacular storm. It left the sky at the temple cloudy and wonderful, yet the rain stopped during the time we scheduled for photographs.
And here is the final design. I love these collages. I design them to tell a story between the images and to show many different feelings and emotions in just one piece. This was created as a larger wall item and is going to look so great in their home.
And here is a glimpse of their wedding invitation. It is square, and this is the invitation folded out, looking at the front of the card (right) and the back of the card (left). It folds down the middle. This photograph made the perfect opening for the invite, because not only is it a great photo with a lot of punch, but if people open the invite and lay it flat, the leaves on the left make such a great transition to the back.
And here is the inside, folded out. I blocked out the names, locations and other personal info, but I just wanted you to see this. Again, it folds down the middle with the spacing of the image to the left making the perfect place for text. Here inside, the image is more dramatic and romantic, and the couple is not looking at the camera but are in a moment with each other. This image really works in the design because there is a juxtaposition with the image on the outside of the invite.
As you can see from their invitation, their wedding is this Thursday. I wish them well and a big congratulations for finding each other and hope that their day is wonderful!
And with those series of images, made this framed trio.
Then we went to one of my new in studio sets for a vibey grouping of cool images.
During the session, we got a bit of rain, but we decided to go outside anyway and get some fun images of her outside in the weather. I used one to create this painting. The final paintings are finished as a stretched canvas with hand glazing.
