How to Pick an Engagement Photographer




Engagement photography is usually shot shortly after you’re booking appointment. Engagement photos can be a very romantic way to let everyone you know that you are finally engaged. It can also be a great way for us to become comfortable working together well before the wedding. I offer the shoot for free to my booked wedding clients and offer the prints for sale after the shoot. Engagement photos are usually rather informal. There are a few different ways of going about getting the best photos from our shoot. Some people just naturally are photogenic. These lucky few need very little coaching on what is beautiful. Then there are the rest of us. And that’s where I come in. It is truly amazing to me how subtle little changes in posture and angles can change the entire mood of the image. With the right angle average can turn to amazing and with the right light we can create the mood you want to convey. The engagement photography should be unique and inspired by the things that you both love. The location of your shoot should speak to you. Visually appealing locations are nice but sentimental locations are just as important. The place where you met or the spot where you became engaged may not be the breath taking “photo op” but your love for the spot and my use of the light we can bring any location to life.If you are interested in scheduling an engagement photo shoot get in touch with us directly at Modern Art Photograph .

Portland Wedding Photography




Bridal Photographs are photographs of the bride and sometimes the groom, usually in the wedding dress shot months before the wedding. The photographs themselves are meant to be used to promote your wedding to your friends and family. These photos should always be custom and shot on location. Your style and taste should come through clearly. They can be so truly spectacular and angelic.
Imagine your bridal photos shot in glowing yellow and white light sunset light in the dunes on the coast, Or even in the forest surrounded by snow capped conifers and craggy mountain peaks. They can be hard and industrial surrounded in metal and darkness or the deep greens of the forest and fields. Bridal Photography can be a tasteful addition to your home or the reception table at your wedding or your wedding invitations and web site.
Looking for high end fashion production bridal photography? Let’s put your wedding vendors to work, create a real red carpet event out of a few freebies and get some great photos doing it! Most wedding vendors want to show you how well they can do the job. In order to do that, most wedding vendors will offer a free appointment for their clients to try out their service a few months before the wedding. The florist, the hair stylist, the makeup artist, perhaps evens the venue, all the more vendors you involve the better. Invite your bridesmaids along and bring a bottle or two of your favorite champagne and you have the ingredients for a great afternoon.
The booking appointment, the planning appointment, the bridal and engagement photography all build up to your big day. The more we plan together. The more finished work you see from the studio of yourself and family. The more you know what to expect of how we work. The more comfortable we will be working together and the happier you will be with your Modern Art Photograph .
