    How will you Stamp your Wedding?

    Plan unique ideas to customize your Wedding

    Your Wedding should be unique and personal to you and your family.  Creating  Stamp(s) on your Wedding will not only create wonderful images but will also keep people telling the story of your Wedding day for years to come.  Accessories can be used to make you and your images stand out.  I am going to show a bunch of Wedding Stamps that I have had on the Wedding day recently.  They go from extremely elaborate planned out Wedding Stamps to just situational Stamps, and everything in between.

      Wedding Photography ~ shallow depth of field to tell a story

      Isolate Wedding photo detail shallow depth of field

      depth of field to isolate wedding photo detail

      Telling a story during the Wedding day does not just involve snapshots.  There are a bunch of techniques that can really bring the viewers eye into the intended subject.  One of these techniques is using shallow depth of field.  This technique blurs out a portion of the image to bring the viewers attention to the intended subject matter.  I personally like to use this technique to highlight detail during a Wedding while including the bride and groom out of focus.   This particular image above I used the bike to place the bride and groom on location.

      This particular image was at a Vineyard in California.  I used the grape vine and bud as a detail and added the couple in the background out of focus to tell a story about the bride and groom’s Wedding location.

      This Wedding couple had a Wedding ceremony location near a natural area.  This image places them in the environment and tells a story of their Wedding day.

      Another stylistic idea is to create images of the Wedding favors with shallow depth of field.  This isolates the target interest and tells a small story from the Wedding day.

      Using shallow depth of field to highlight details will really separate your images from the “snapshots” that uncle Harry will be capturing during the Wedding day.  There are a ton of lenses to consider and I suggest just experimenting with the lenses you have in your bag.  Maybe you will find that what you have will work just fine.  I personally prefer Canon L lenses for this technique.
