Maine & New Hampshire Wedding Photographer // My Approach To Being a Dark & Moody Photographer

As a wedding photographer, I have the incredible honor of capturing one of the most important days of your life. Each wedding is a unique story, a blend of emotions, moments, and details meticulously planned and cherished. My approach to photography is rooted in a dark and moody style, but not in the way you might expect. Unlike many who rely on editing presets to achieve this look, my style emerges from a profound understanding and deliberate use of light.

Natural light is a powerful tool in creating the dark and moody aesthetic. Using a window as a single light source has soft, bright highlights, leaving dark shadows on the other side of the subject. .

As the day turns to night, the ambiance shifts, and so does my approach. Strobe lighting becomes essential for night portraits. The contrast created by these lights adds depth and drama to the images, making every shot a piece of art. This method ensures that even as the sun sets, your photos remain vibrant and full of life.

One of the most critical aspects of wedding photography is color accuracy. You’ve spent months, perhaps years, planning every detail of your wedding, from the flowers to the bridesmaids' dresses. Your wedding photos should reflect those choices perfectly. Skin tones, in particular, are crucial. They need to look natural and beautiful, not washed out or overly edited. My commitment to true-to-life color ensures that your memories are preserved just as you remember them.

I love my photography style. It brings out the richness in every shot, highlighting the emotions and the beauty of the day. The play of light and shadow adds depth to the images, creating a visual narrative that is both compelling and genuine. This isn’t just about creating beautiful pictures; it’s about capturing the essence of your day in a way that feels authentic and timeless.
