Tell us about you: E. Leigh Photography is my husband Mat, and I. We're
based in Brooklyn, NY but are expanding to Seattle in 2013! We shoot almost
every wedding together and love to tell love stories. (They have been featured on Style Me Pretty)
What makes your company unique: We come from photojournalism and fashion worlds
respectively so we can tell the story of your wedding day from every angle.
We'll grab the unique moments that only happen once and also show off your gorgeous
dress and bouquet in a magazine-style shoot. Call us crazy, but we believe that weddings should
be fun. Not stressful. Not lame or cookie-cutter. And definitely not boring.
They should be a perfect and wonderful reflection of who you are as a couple.
Our job is to tell your weak-in-the-knees love story.
What are the trends in Wedding Photography: One of our favorite trends is super important to our
business - storytelling! Gone are the days for stiff, posed portraits (although
we still do those for Grandma and Mom) and in is telling the story through
emotional, evocative photos that make you feel how amazing it was. This means way
more fly-on-the-wall and way less camera-in-the-face.
How to select a wedding photographer: Some of the best advice we can give is to pick a wedding
photographer you would hang out with in regular life. You will spend more
time with your photographer than almost any other vendor (except your
planner/designer) and you must
like them! If they're boring,
or inappropriate or just give you weird feeling, find someone else. Of course
their pictures should be mind-blowing also. ;-)
Advice from a wedding photographer: Please give your photographers a hot meal, preferably
near your table! We spend the entire day on our feet and really need to
recharge. It would be so sad if we fainted at your wedding! If we eat near you
(and at a similar time) we can get up when you do and capture the raucousness
of the dance floor
We always tell brides to get a coordinator or a planner for their wedding (Lori
was ours and she was uh-mazing). It's just so important to have a non-family
member, non-venue person running the whole show. Trust me when I say you should
spend on this and everything else will go more smoothly and look more
beautiful.
If
you have a Seattle wedding in July/August of 2013 and think we might be a
match, please don't hesitate to get in touch! You can see more work on our blog:
