99% of what you'll see out there from photographers will be natural light using just available light. It's nice and gives a soft look, but what about when you can make it even better? When we take control of the light and use just the amount we want and compensate with our own - then we can become true masters of light. Bright Sunny Day: We make the picture darker so you can get color and definition in the sky which means we need to put some flash on you. Background Too Bright: Same deal, you're silhouetted against a bright background so we put flash from various angles to light you. Sunset: It's dark out. If we want to see the colors we need to keep it dark, which means we can't see you. Many photographers will purposely silhouette you against a sunset, which can look nice, but isn't it oh so much better when we can actually see who you are? Specialty Shots: Sometimes we can use flash to create a cool look like shining it through a banister to create cool shadows or put a spotlight just on your faces. THIS is why you hire a professional. If your pictures are just a glorified version of what a phone can take then really what's the point? #berryphotos www.berryphotos.com

Lighting the ceremony can be the trickiest part of a wedding. From churches to bright gardens with weird shadows to venues with tricky configurations. When considering a photographer look for shots of the ceremony. Look for skin tones, shadows, lighting, etc. Some locations just can't be fixed, but most can be done right with the proper experience. #berryphotos #masterthelight www.berryphotos.com


Contact US to help work out your timeline!


We want to ensure you have the most possible time to get all those amazing pictures.

If you do a first look: We have all the time in the world before the ceremony to go and do whatever our hearts desire.


If you build in a gap between cocktail hour and ceremony: We can get all the wedding party and family pictures done and still have plenty of time to dedicate to just the two of you in different poses and locations with entirely different looks and vibes to the shots.


If you only allot cocktail hour for pictures: That hour is really only about 45 minutes if we're lucky. If you have a large wedding party or complex family dynamics we could use 35 of those minutes just getting different combinations of people before we get a single shot of just the two of you.


Before the day gets here let's talk and see how we can work things out to get the absolute most out of your day.


This is especially important for fall couples who have an earlier sunset!
