Monochrome month continues with another bridal portrait. Sola photos of the bride, the groom, and getting-ready photos in general tell such a different story when they are in black and white versus color. What do you think?

Are you enjoying monochrome month? I am! 
In this image of the groom, interesting natural lighting coming from various angles said "drama," but this photo in color looked harsh, with conflicting color tones from the light, and a wall color that just didn't gel with the color of the groom's jacket. Turning the image black and white post-process turned a difficult lighting situation into a difficult-to-look-away-from photo. Winning.

Even though I see the world in color, there are moments on a wedding day that are made for black and white - moments like the bride getting ready. There is a quiet intimacy that comes as the bride slips on her gown, with her mother to help, and a black and white treatment conveys it so well.

More for monochrom month. That moment when all the guests gather around the fire with cigars, and you set up the off-camera light to get the shot. This image 100% does not have the same impact in color. Converting it to black and white takes the story and turns it from romance to drama.

I capture every wedding in color first (unless you've added on my black and white film package), but mostly because I do see the world in color. However, sometimes even in the moment, I know I am going to convert an image to black and white. A monochrome treatment allows any distracting elements (especially problematic in small spaces) to become secondary and isolates the beautiful bride.

Silhouettes almost always appear in monochrome, even when photographed in color. And a good silhouette needs framing, angle, and posing to communicate the message. I think this photo has all three - it was taken at the courthouse in Tucson right before this couple entered the courtroom for their wedding. What you don't see are all the other couples waiting for their turn, crowding the hallways around us.

Today I am starting a monochrome month - so for the next 30 days you'll be seeing some stunning black and white portraits, portraits that speak louder when color slips away. I hope you enjoy.
