Some weddings have you stressing about perfectly capturing the flowers and details. This one was about something bigger... think massive architectural backdrop bigger. At the Teatro L’Occitane no less. In this feature, Michael Brito explains how he deliberately steps outside the “normal” photographer positions, letting his team cover the basics while he moves freely to create the images he actually LOVES. Let's get going, there's a lot to cover.
Installations flown in by helicopter, the team moving on skis just to stay in position, the guests in the snow... this is wedding photography at an INSANE scale. Let's jump in and get the photographer's POV on how he tackled this wild and challenging wedding.
There are levels to this game. Most settle for showing up to someone else’s styled shoot. It looks good, it works, but it’s not YOURS. Jennifer Moher went further here. Inspired by film set photography, she built an entire world around Marie Antoinette meets 1950s ballet... complete with directed movement, story, costumes, and characters. This is the difference between just turning up and shooting something pretty and 'world-building.' FEEL the difference below, and take note of just how much went into this.
Koko King approached this Tulum wedding with a clear instinct to push the limits of what's really possible. The jungle at Papaya Playa Project is visually dense and chaotic. Instead of letting that overwhelm the frame, she searched for quieter pockets where portraits could feel more calm and minimal. A nice contrast to the energy Koko brings... Film, flash, movement, and warm tones that feel different even from her own previous work. It feels, thrilling and really really cool (but warm... you get what we're saying). Dive in for some behind the scenes inspo from Koko that we PROMISE will give you a creative adrenaline shot.
For Jack Henry, great wedding coverage starts with the fundamentals. Clean hero frames, solid ceremony coverage, perfect balanced colours, and the key moments captured JUST right. With that foundation locked in, the space opens up to push a little further. Film and instinct can take over. The result is a wedding story that delivers both the polished staples clients expect and the creative touches that make the gallery memorable. In this feature, Jack walks us through how he approached this stylish Sydney wedding from preparation to party.
Nikki Strekowski gives a masterclass into letting the vibe lead: think fashion, vintage references, and European romance. A tad bit French storybook, a little 90s couture. Let’s break down how Nikki approached it, from film choices to delegation to how she maneuvered that tricky reception lighting we all love. Ready? Let's go.
Photographing this wedding solo at New Zealand's Huka Lodge, Bayleigh Vedelago went heavy on the preparation to create flexibility. After some big time scouting the day prior, she built a loose movement plan around the couple’s dreamed up locations while dodging the dramatic weather changes. In this edition, we go BTS of Bayleigh's process & perspective.
Shot entirely on film in wintertime Venice, this editorial shows what creative preparation actually looks like. From sourcing and styling all the fashion herself, to scouting locations and planning around specific light days in advance, everything was INTENTIONAL. Proving that disciplined execution beats 'winging it' every time.
