SET THE MOOD!

When adjusting the camera settings, using a wide depth of field allows the full atmosphere to come through – from intimate ceremony spaces to softly lit receptions. Dana and John’s wedding photos are a beautiful example of how this comes to life. Their ceremony, surrounded by lush greenery and natural textures, created a romantic and slightly cinematic setting.

Overall, their day created the perfect setting for stunning dark and moody wedding photos! Take another look at Dana and John’s portraits as the light softened throughout the day.

LIGHT UP THE NIGHT

Dark and Moody wedding photos also provide another unique opportunity; the use of sparklers. When you think of sparklers, what do you think? Most people would immediately think of good times and the beauty of the light shining in the dark. We want your photos to bring that same feeling to mind. The sparks between you and your spouse shouldn’t be the only sparks flying on your wedding night. Check out Nicholette and Ricky’s wedding at Seaview Golf and Resort. Their usage of sparklers not only allowed them to take spectacular dark and moody wedding photos but allowed their wedding party to get in on the fun as well. It is the perfect way to end the night with a SPARK.
