Relive your unique love story through true-to-color wedding photos.

True-to-color photography is when your photographer edits your photos to match the natural tones and hues of the day. They do not heavily alter the color palette but merely adjust shadows and light.

However, the concept is subjective at its core because every person sees color differently. We all view the world through a different lens and as the seasons change so do the hues/tint of colors.

When you say, “I am looking for a true-to-color photographer” be open to the varying ways that photographers, who are artists as well, see color.

Some will prefer vibrant, bright colors. Some will prefer deep, moody shadows. Yet others will prefer muted colors or stylized coloring. It’s all a preference.

You may have noticed this as you peruse Pinterest or your favorite photographers’ Instagrams for inspirational photos the colors vary. Be aware that trends come and go, but true-to-color photography is always in style. 

Why? Because natural colors represent the true memory of the day. Over-stylized photos could lead to slightly off skin tones, give your photos an aged appearance, or might not fit into the aesthetic of your home. 

With true-to-color photos of your wedding you will remember your decor, dress, flowers, the weather, and more as they were. All the hard work you put into picking the colors, the dress, your makeup, the flowers, and more will be beautifully colored the way you truly remembered them to be.

So, how do you choose the best photographer for you based on style?

If you’re not sure which styling to choose, here are some things to consider:

1. Will It Match My Home Decor?

   
   

   This is often overlooked because printing photos to decorate the home is almost a lost art. We forget to take our photos off our phones and put turn them into tangible pieces of art that make for beautiful gallery walls, table decor, and cute picture frames for your bedside table. By taking into account your current home decor or plans for your future home, your chosen photography style will elevate the design of your spaces and be beautiful reminders of your love story.

   
   

2. Does It Reflect My Relationship?

   
   

   This is a fun way to think about your relationship. How would you describe you and your partners connection? Bubbly and bright, mysterious and reserved, adventurous, etc. This will help you choose a photographer whose color styling and way of posing will truly capture the unique story of you and your partner. You need to truly see yourselves in their photos.

   
   

3. Does It Reflect My Wedding Theme?

   
   

   Finally, consider the look and lighting of your venue, your decor, the time of your wedding, and your theme. A wedding that is blooming with vibrant flowers, bridesmaids' dresses, colorful confetti, etc., would probably prefer a photographer that edits to preserve the vibrancy and colors. On the other hand, a wedding planned for the evening to nighttime maybe in a more rustic setting with neutral decor would probably prefer a photographer who edits for a more vintage, muted color tone.

   
   

   A true-to-color photographer fits both settings without over stylizing.

   
   

   You should also consider this for your proposal/engagement photos. This could save you money when hiring an engagement photographer that also serves weddings. It creates a cohesive look between your wedding and engagement photos. This in turn creates a cohesive story from the first I Do to the happily ever after. Ask your photographer of choice if they offer specials for wedding photography when booking an engagement session.
