“Wedding memories are best preserved by storytelling pictures. Photography can freeze time and hold still a moment. It can capture fleeting expressions, make beauty timeless and an instant last forever. We are experienced wedding photojournalists and portrait photographers in Seattle. We believe wedding photographs of real moments carry a visual narrative. They have the power to bring a tear, a smile for years to come. Our wedding photography is an artful blend of bridal portraits and candid storytelling pictures. We will focus on storytelling details and capture the often-fleeting emotions of this one day, your wedding day.” – Seattle Photographer Daniel Sheehan

A Photojournalist approach to bridal photography

A documentary or photojournalism approach to bridal photography, done well, captures every significant moment as it happens. Candid story-telling pictures are the key to successful wedding photojournalism. Our Seattle photographers are experienced in telling the narrative of a day with a distinctive, natural style through a blend of candid bridal photography and well composed artistic portraits. Unobtrusively capturing the story-telling moments is our genuine passion.

 

 

portraits by a Seattle wedding photographer

Although most of the wedding pictures we make are candid images, we believe bridal portraits are as important on a wedding day as candid wedding photography. The day is incomplete without a portrait of the bride and groom and their family and friends. In fact, our unique speciality is making a large format black and white panoramic group portrait of everyone at the wedding. Artistic, creative portraits are part of the mix of pictures we make. For recent work see our blog, “Capture the Moment”.
