Black and White Wedding Photography

Here is a collection of Black and White wedding photographs from Meghan and Yoav's wedding in Madison, Wisconsin. Since we live in the world of digital photography, we didn't shoot it in black and white on camera. Instead, we manipulated all the images to match this specific matted and foggy style. There is something so romantic and dramatic about black and white photography, and if you give a picture the right treatment, these various tones of grey isolates a specific part of the picture; leading the eye, exactly were you want the viewer to focus. At times I edit a picture in both color and B/W, and it is so hard to decide which one I'd like to give to my client. So, I decided I would always give them both options. B/W images are a great approach to photojournalistic images, it is also great for portraits of the bride and the groom.  Wedding pictures live forever; unlike the current trend of lens flares and vintage washed out images, black and white images are guaranteed to have a longer trendy life. I'd like to say that black and white prints almost have an extra layer of polished and high-class feel.   Black and white images are a great way to edit a picture that was poorly shot. If you are shooting raw images, and you have completely under expose an image, you can use this technique to cover up all the noise in the picture. One of my favorite reasons on why I like editing black and white images is because it makes a statement to our eyes. A black and white image stops your eye from seeing the world in color. It is something unique and it has style.  Keep it clean and classy:

- Use contrast to get rid of all the non-important pieces of the image (ex. people in the background)

- Use lines and shapes for better composition

We wanted to try something new with our brides, so we decided to craft together a way to celebrate the love that they share for each other with this short film that was filmed at their favorite place to spend the summer… Lake Michigan.
