Another lovely wedding post. The various colored flowers and boutonnieres, the fall foliage as well as the place cards all added a lot of visual interest to the decor. On another note, you can’t tell in the photo but what was special about this wedding dress was the fabric. It was really shear and soft. It hung with elegance and shimmered with class. Props to the bride : )

Here is the first part of another wedding we photographed at Zukas Hilltop Barn a few weekends ago. You’ll probably notice the leaves on the trees in the photos that are no longer here. That’s because I made the mistake of blogging my weddings out of order… I hope you don’t mind (my guess is that you probably don’t care) This couple was so genuine, so warm and overall such a pleasure to work with. I look forward to photographing the bride’s sister’s wedding next year. I’d like to comment on the 4th photo, the one of just the bride amidst the foliage. This may appear to be a small technical detail but it actually makes a big difference in who you choose for your photographer. The reason why the photo looks the way it does is because of the lighting technique that we use at DiasPhoto. It’s a soft diffused light that makes you look better. Very few photographers employ this method because you have to pay an assistant to just hold a light and not shoot. I feel confident that I can do the job that you hire me to do without having my assistant taking pictures to back me up. If you like the option of having 2 photographers, we offer that in addition to the assistant that helps us light photos properly. Excuse my pontification : ) P.S. Today’s my birthday, I’m 34!!!!
