Flash Only Hotel Portraits

Jan

05

When Tiffany contacted me to take more wedding portraits with her family I was booked the day she wanted me on short notice! With her trust, she decided to hire me for whenever I could make it to the hotel where we did photos of just her and Tony the day they eloped. WELL AFTER DARK. This meant this would be my first 100% flash portrait gallery.

I warned them that I had never done a full session with flash only and that I couldn’t guarantee any sort of specific results for flash only formals. I just promised them my best and they were so trusting and happy to hire me for what I could do!

Their first round of photos were so beautiful, I knew I had a reputation to stand up to! I’m just now seeing that I didn’t make it to blogging their first round of photos on the day they eloped! I will definitely be posting those soon as well.

After eloping, they decided they wanted to come back to the hotel for more portraits with Tiffany’s new hair cut and more of their family. Only Tiffany’s parents were able to make it for the elopement!

Nervous but excited, I set up my one flash set-up and went to work with everything I knew! Before I knew it I was sharing the back of the camera and so excited to get home to edit.

Thank you for trusting me and hiring me a second time, Tiffany & Tony! You are such a joy to work with and I love the way you both challenge and encourage me to try new things!

I’m looking forward to many more exclusively flash galleries to come!

Venue: Hyatt Regency Lake Washington at Seattle’s Southport
