B & W PHOTOS ARE STILL CLASSIC

Sure, color photography is beautiful, but B&W photos can bring a new perspective to photos that can’t always be captured in color. If you are not a photo enthusiast , you might think they are outdated, but on the contrary, B&W photos are timeless and classic. Of course today, we shoot in color and can turn any photo into sepia or B&W, but some look better than others. We always look for contrasting elements in B&W photos and love to play with shadows and love compositional challenges with our subjects !! We do mix in many in our repertoire of wedding work as well as portraits. Here are some faves from recent weddings.
