Up-Lighting: All Things Considered
Tuesday, March 15, 2011
Hi Guys! Thanks for reading! I wanted to take some time to chat about Up-Lighting and all the ways we feel it can enhance an evening. When we speak to potential clients about Up-Lighting we generally keep the conversation about the "feel" of the room and compliments from the guests. Ultimately, Ithink that is what most people are thinking about when considering adding lighting. They may want to coordinate an existing color scheme, go a different direction than what would be considered "traditional" as far as decorating or simply going for a "Wow" factor for their guests. Either way, they rarely consider the main point I would like to make with this article.
My point is this: What happens once the night is over? How well do you remember your evening? How well do your guests? If your memory is anything like mine you probably realize that after some time you memory will start to fade a little bit, so what do you do??? Well, you probably do what every other couple does to remember their evening... hire a photographer! This is where we are realizing Up-Lightings secondary and often unrealized benefit. ...It make your pictures look great! Now a quick side note: If you can afford a professional photographer get one! The picture quality is usually night and day and you can look through my Up-Lighting pictures to prove it. Any pictures taken by professional photographers have their logos on them. The rest were take by me with a $250 camera. You WILL see a difference, not just in the clarity, but in the artistry as well. Just saying, think hard before skimping on a photographer!
Anyway, back to the fun! Check following photos and see how dramatic and just awesome these look because of the lighting! Now, our good friends at Shirk Photography shot these and they are professionals. Check out how they shot these with the lighting and try to imagine them without the lighting as well:
You can check out more pictures in our gallery as well. We just wanted to show what Up-Lighting does for photos. These are pictures that you and your guests will have for a lifetime and will be a reminder of how unique and amazing your big day really was!
