Quick Changes: Wedding Style Inspiration

By True Photography, September 09, 2015 Dresses, Trends

Occasionally, wedding couples run off during the wedding… and then come back, rocking completely different attire. For example, the bride may switch from a colorful cultural garment to a traditional wedding gown, or from an elaborate ballgown to a cocktail dress suitable for dancing the night away. The guys can get in on the fun too, as you will see below. Whatever the motivation, a dramatic wardrobe change can add variety to the day, surprise the guests, and make for astounding photos :)

If you plan on switching outfits during your wedding day, we suggest considering the time it will take. While a complex transformation may hold you up, a quick, well-executed change will let you rejoin the festivities as soon as possible. Here are some quick changes that have turned heads, and kept all of the guests on their toes.

Lavish Indian Weddings

By True Photography, April 11, 2014 Weddings

Wedding traditions vary from culture to culture, and each tradition is unique to its own roots. One of our favorite cultural celebrations is an Indian wedding. We love the excitement of the crowd, the traditional costumes, the abundant food, and the entire celebration.

From our experience, Indian weddings can take anywhere from 1 day to 3 days depending on the customs of the families involved. Each event can have from 100 to 1,000 guests, which keeps us on our toes as photographers. Each of our photographers has a depth of experience with Indian weddings, and a commitment to elegant, artistic and joyful wedding photography.

Indian weddings are bursting with colors, which go hand-in-hand with our style of photography. The outfits, jewels and flowers are about as vibrant as colors can be :) Take a look at some photos from our recent Indian Weddings.

Jewish Wedding Celebrations | Mazel Tov!

By True Photography, April 07, 2014 Weddings

Weddings that are culturally significant can have special meaning to family, friends, and invited guests. One such type of religious and cultural celebration is a Jewish wedding. Depending on the level of observance, there are many parts to the Jewish wedding festivities. Examples of customs that may be incorporated include the tish (breaking of a dish by the mothers-in-law), reading of the ketubah (marriage contract), and the shattering of a glass at the end of the ceremony.

We have photographed weddings for Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform Judaism, and are very comfortable and familiar with the rituals that may be observed at each level. Since we are prepared for all of the practices, and know the ins and outs of the ceremony, we can spend our time focusing on creative wedding photography. We also love to get right in the mix for some amazing action shots :) If you need any help in planning for a Jewish wedding with specific photography needs, please feel free to contact our studio.

Here are some of our top picks from recent Jewish wedding celebrations.
