Every wedding has it's own unique style. Some weddings go all out and decorate for the both the ceremony and the reception. Others opt for just decorating the reception area. Whatever way you choose to decorate for your wedding it should reflect both the theme and style of the Bride and Groom's collective taste.

DIY Weddings are all the rage, so there's a good chance you are making your decorations...or paying someone to make them for you. Either way, your decorations should be featured in your wedding photography. 



I have photographed themed weddings, such as Christmas (which was an absolute joy since everything was so stunning and festive). I have photographed weddings where the reception was geared towards the Groom's interests: football or fishing. Other weddings have just focused on using their colors. Regardless of their choice, the decorations truly make the wedding experience special for the guests. Sure, everyone will talk about how lovely the Bride looked in her dress, but it's always great to hear the guests talking about how wonderful the decorations looked.

Flowers (real or fake) are always a great choice. 
Using wedding favors for the guests as part of your decorations also help 
add a little touch to the reception tables.

A great way to decorate tables is to use your engagement photos in frames. Alternately, photos of the bride and groom as children is always a nice touch! Regardless of how you choose to decorate your ceremony or reception area, your wedding photographs should include every little detail that made your day beautiful and unique.

I had the pleasure of being able to photograph a lovely young lady named Cat before Science Hill High School's Prom. We had an awesome time at Founders Park in downtown Johnson City. I look foward to photographing her again in the future! Here's a sneak peak of her photos!

Wedding Day: The Rings

This is Part 7 of a 10 Part Wedding Series. 
Be sure to check back for the next 3 posts!

Picture
The origin of using rings in wedding ceremonies can be traced back to ancient Egypt. The rings have not always been metal, often times they were woven from grass and other plants. Men have not always worn a ring to symbolize their marriage. The rings have not always been worn on the fourth finger of the left hand.
 Whatever it's history, the rings have always symbolized never ending love. 
Picture
Some people pass down engagement rings through the family. Others simply buy newer, more modern looking rings. Some choose to have theirs custom made. No matter what engagement ring or wedding bands you choose to have, it should be special to the both of you. After all, it is a symbol of your never ending commitment to one another. And if you are lucky, you'll never lose your precious rings down the drain or in the ocean (seriously, be careful with those things...they can be quite expensive to replace)! 
Picture




The rings from each of the weddings I have photographed have been different. Some are covered in precious stones. Some are engraved with a sweet message on the inside. Others are engraved all around the band. 


If I am photographing a wedding, after the reception has started, I will ask you for your rings. Scary right? I promise I always take good care of them. I will then wander off and take photographs of your rings in a unique setting that is special for your day. Perhaps you have an old family Bible that is near and dear to your heart and you want it to be utilized in your photos. Other times there are decorations that speak to your character and style that I will use to accent the photographs of your rings.


The idea is to create something beautiful that you can cherish, either in your wedding album or showcased in a frame on your wall. 
Picture
Platinum, white gold, yellow gold, titanium, or sterling silver...doesn't matter. They all photograph well. And even the "cheaper" rings can still look amazing and have the same "never ending love" meaning as the more expensive rings. Don't let your financial situation dictate your love for one another. It's all about finding the ring that works for you and one that you'll be comfortable wearing for the rest of your life together. Maybe your engagement ring has smaller stone than you would have liked. That's ok. You can always upgrade to a newer/bigger one down the road, perhaps for an anniversary. Your wedding band should be able to stand the test of time as you share your new married life with your partner.
