As a wedding photographer, it is important to continue to push the boundaries of creativity and storytelling in order to deliver a truly captivating wedding gallery for your clients. One of the key strategies I’ve adopted is incorporating five distinct ‘hero shots’ that have proven to be instrumental in up-leveling my portfolio. Through thoughtfully curated imaging, it is important to not only document the events of the day but also strive to transport your clients back to their cherished moments, allowing them to relive the magic of their wedding day. I will be sharing what I consider to be my “Five Hero Shots” that will transform your portfolio and elevate any complete gallery. Learn More.
Drone Images
Drone shots offer a unique perspective, which allows us to capture aerial views of the wedding venue and surrounding landscapes. These shots can provide a sense of scale and grandeur, showcasing the beauty of the location and adding a touch of cinematic flair to the wedding gallery.









Fashion Detail Images
Detail shots of the bride’s and guests’ fashion choices can add depth and sophistication to the portfolio. Photographers can focus on intricate fabric, embellishments, jewelry, and accessories, highlighting the unique style and elegance of each individual. These shots not only showcase the fashion choices but also contribute to the overall storytelling of the event.







Candid Cocktail Hour Images:
Capturing candid moments during the cocktail hour can help convey the genuine emotions and interactions of the guests. These images aim to capture laughter and heartfelt conversations, making viewers feel as though they are part of the celebration. Candid shots add authenticity to the portfolio and reflect the natural essence of the wedding day.






Guest Experience Images
Including photos that depict the guest experience adds a personal touch to the portfolio. Photographs of guests enjoying drinks and entertainment create a sense of immersion, allowing the bride and groom to relive missed moments. These images offer a glimpse into the wedding celebration and foster a connection with anyone viewing the gallery.






Golden Hour Images
Golden hour, the period shortly before sunset, offers soft, flattering light that enhances the beauty of outdoor portraits. I try to capture breathtaking portraits of the bride and groom against the backdrop of a golden sky. These portraits create keepsakes that showcase the couple’s love and happiness and will be keepsake images for generations to come.
