the guys: capturing dramatic portraits on the wedding day

There are many ways you can shoot wedding photography. For us, creating idealized and romanticized moments (that hollywood cinematic moment) is part of our photography ideology and philosophy. In an age where it seems everyone has a digital camera, our goal is to provide the bride and groom with something greater, and more beautiful, than simply clicking the shutter and capturing the plain image anyone else can capture. We want to capture art!

I plan on doing a short series of posts, using the same wedding, showing several ways to capture the groom and his friends on the wedding day. This first one, a dramatic image focusing on the groom, utilizes lines from the double railroad tracks and shows off the amazing drama in the sky. Even the low angle of the shot builds confidence and power showing each groomsman well, but ultimately focusing on the groom himself.
