Natural Light & The Golden Hour

Natural Light & The Golden Hour

Let's talk about natural light and a term photographer's use often: The Golden Hour.  This time of day occurs around sunrise and sunset when the light is soft and golden.  Because this light is so flattering, it’s the ideal time to take portraits outside! If you’re scheduling your bridal or group portraits for a wedding or are thinking of investing in an outdoor photo shoot, consider the time of day and how the natural light will affect your images.

Wedding: Alyse and Stevie at Coral Beach in Bermuda

Wedding: Alyse and Stevie at Coral Beach in Bermuda

I had the pleasure of photographing Alyse Hanrahan and Stevie Moses’ wedding on May 6, 2017, in Bermuda at the Coral Beach Club!  What was more amazing was after spending the day with these two love birds, I also had the chance to get to know them a little bit. The bride and groom were originally from Massachusetts although are currently living in Russia, where Stevie is a professional ice hockey player for the SKA Saint Petersburg team of the Kontinental Hockey League; dubbed one of the fastest skaters on earth!  Alyse is an accomplished make-up artist, with a seemingly carefree personality and infectious laugh.  After seeing photographs of Alyse's make-up work on Instagram, I knew the “getting ready” photos would be fun!  Perhaps one of the most romantic things I learned about Alyse and Stevie was that they had been dating for 11 years and were high school sweethearts! Check out all the details of this elegant wedding in the post.

Award - PDN | "Celebrations"

Award - PDN | "Celebrations"

I was super stoked (and a bit shocked) to receive an e-mail from Photo District News notifying me that I was one of their winners in this year’s “Celebrations” contest!  This competition was centered on how we – as humans - celebrate private events, weddings, cultural events, corporate gatherings, and holidays. I took this as an opportunity to consider the work I shoot of my own family (vs. the images I usually take of my clients' families) and submitted a photograph I took of my husband, Jim, sitting at my Grampie’s Christmas dinner table for the first time. Many celebrations have occurred around this table over the years, Birthdays, Easter, Thanksgiving, Mother's, and Father's Day.  It was extra special to introduce Jim to our family’s Christmas dinner tradition.
