wedding photographer photo technique
I am a Toronto wedding photographer, I record wedding moments from a special ‘Cafa’ angle, and create loving memories with passion.
This photograph was taken at Guildwood park located in Toronto. Most of the time, the time and place will be selected by the couple. I would love to do a photography session under the charming sunset but at the time this wedding photo was taken I had to fight with the harsh noonday sunlight instead. Actually, this was one of the shots to break the ice. As usual, I didn’t come with an expectation or plan. I was just following my heart and feelings, depending on the actual environment and my continuous observation. I didn’t find the light, the light found me.
That’s a challenge, which attracts me deeply. So, when I was walking behind the bride, the shadows burst into my sight and I knew I can’t let this moment slip away. I asked the bride if she could do some random and relaxed shooting with me, the answer was yes. I told the bride ‘it’s a warm-up, just stand between me and the sun, do anything you want like dancing, looking around, jumping, spinning, spinning and jumping.’ The only thing left for me to do was was to click, click, and click, in the CAFA way.
I retouched the photograph in Lightroom, something like color temperature, contrast, saturation, curve and pressure, darkened background. I have no fixed work process, I love to try everything until I feel comfortable. The key point of this image in my mind is texture, the texture of sunlight.
The pleasure of photography for me is encountering, no plan, no expectation. If something comes to you, capture it, in your own unique way.
Wedding Photography Select (WPS) was set up one early afternoon in 2011 by a former wedding photographer and his partner. With an idea in their heads and a bee in their bonnet, they began to brainstorm ideas and began badly coding up a website. Realising the gap in the market for a wedding portal in the UK with the very best wedding photography in the world, the site was born.
WPS has become much more than it was originally intended to be, growing month after month, showcasing the very best wedding photographers and wedding photography around the world.
I was really worried about my English when Darius who came from WPS asked me writing something behind this picture. Thank you very much Darius for your encouraging me,and finally i did it.It‘s a big honor to inspire the wedding photographers on their beginning.I am so happy to be featured on a famous web like WPS,among myself in lots of best wedding photographers in this world.
