Styled Shoot: Bridal Portraits by NYC Photographer

The NYC Photographer Vision behind the Bridal Portraits

“Creativity is a part of my world. Some people dream in black and white, I dream in color.”
-NYC Photographer, Suess Moments

Because I had already worked with New Jersey floral designer, Edith from Glamurosa Designs, and the Hair/Makeup artist, Tiffani, before; I trusted them with the Bridal Portraits (by NYC Photographer). As a NYC Photographer, I went into this bridal portrait styled shoot, without a mood board for them. I told the small dream team of NYC wedding vendors that I had purchased a dress on sale by Mia Bella Couture and that a modeling agency, New Icon NY, reached out so that I could collaborate with one of their new models, Dorca Aragon, to do a bridal portrait series. It all came together perfectly…within THREE DAYS. I told the creatives, Edith and Tiffani, to do whatever they wanted creatively for the shoot. No plan for colors or design. Just went with the flow. Then when I sat down to start editing the images, I just edited the bridal portraits until something sparked the inspiration to make some magical images using a mix of Photoshop and Lightroom.

Seven Reasons why a Styled Shoot

Create your dream portfolio by taking control of your branding and without worrying about a client’s particular tastes. Do you, boo!
The ability to experiment but also show off your artistic potential. For example, bring an OCF and props because you have always wanted to experiment but don’t dare to try on a wedding day.
Network and Collaborate with wedding day vendors who are as passionate as you are.
Visualize and Influence by becoming the NEW Pinterest pinned trend. Watch out – a big blog may want to feature your images!
Grow your portfolio and stay relevant to couples planning a wedding. No one wants to book a vendor who is inactive on social media.
Practice, Practice, Practice – the only way you can get better at what you love to do.
Affordable marketing strategy since all the vendors involved will be reposting your best photos and tagging your work. It’s a win-win to attract your ideal client.
