My Style: Docu-Editorial, True-to-Color, with rich textures...

What does this mean?

This mean a few things for my clients.

When I mention docu-editorial, it simply points to the Documentary portion which meets the candid nature of the day in moments while they happen organically.

The editorial part, encapsules the details that make the aesthetics of your day, this may include decor and spaces, personal details, the heirlooms that are passed on from one generation to another, etc.

When it comes to capturing the family formal [groups and family] we take a little more traditional approach - still throw a mix of fun candids while we are getting our groups, our second lead is most likely looking for the organic moments...

In our day's process, we are very entwined with how we shoot, the light, the space, the emotion that fills the room... These are most key components to the professional portion of our photograph, but then there are colors and textures, how do these dictate the style in which your moments ate delivered? Well, you colors will be true, as your eye see them - We love presets, and that is a way that the world sells beauty... But we have an analog heart when we shoot - In this digital world - we attempt to conserve what is true on these moments - Of course, we choose to add a pop of color so tht you images are not flat, but fun and still being timeless.

We share a 'feeling', and this leads to amazing images that will tell the story... Our idea clients value our style, the services we offer, and appreciate our direction, guidance, structure, experience, and professionalism that will be part of their experience when booking with Allie Miller Weddings.

Hybrid? Digital and/or Film? We can make it happen!

Let's start with our Analog approach, while shooting film, exploring the different film types through the years, and developing processes allows for us to evaluate the value each approach may offer [ pros & cons] Digital offers: the ability to see an image right away. Uploading to platforms and sharing them immediately after - makes it very practical. Sometime it loses it long appeal, because it can be so overwhelming - so much going at you! The digital age has made photography fast paced, fast delivered and an instantly rewarding process. No anticipation.

Film offers: the incredible feel of nostalgia, with parents and grandparents who often have their albums which were shot strictly in film, most clients appreciate having a feel for this process, that started taken some kind of a 'back seat' to digital since Fuji X-DS 1P [1.2mp] - introduce the 1st digital camera in 1989 ]

Film has made a comeback [Circa 2015] and, with this re-owned appearance, some of us old-schoolers are able to offer this as option to our clients - this is where our Love & Nostalgia comes to play. We want to still keep it relevant!

Film in its purest form, is extremely intentional and slow paced and certainly one thing film ALWAYS offered was the gorgeous grain, along with the ability to think-thought the process of capturing the image one wanted. And perhaps, the developing can take a bit to return... But, once you hold these images and your spaces are filled with these printed, that feeling just fills the air - nostalgia!

We do shoot our weddings mostly on digital, we still use our approach as we do in film, allowing us to capture between 75-100 images per hour [also dependent on day's dynamics] this is to say we are not wanting to overshoot, to just have a 5000K images that will delay the post processing a great deal - as you mainly will need the moments that are organically captured!

In our work, regardless we personally romanticize all color's richness in its natural state, the light and true feel, still reveal some of the softness. We avoid delivering images that are flat, with a washed out scenes or overly tinted images - However, some images are shot to reveal an artistic sense [ i.e your Sunset portraits ]

In explaining my process in my style, I wanted to bring understanding in the work and experience we provide as a whole.

I believe this is very important to you: my client.
