A Dissection in Gear…What’s with all that Stuff?

Often as we are photographing weddings guests ask us what is with all that stuff attached to you and why?  So here is a full dissection of gear as well as the reasons behind “The Stuff.”

You will see differences amongst professional photographers’ gear.  Every person has their own individual way to work.  Some prefer Nikon to Canon.  And some prefer light brackets to the modern diffuser options.  Either way works, but despite the nuances pro wedding photographers need to have a certain amount of gear to handle all the lighting situations thrown their way throughout the course of the day; have in their possession professional grade equipment as well as back up equipment; and be prepared to work quickly over an extended period of time.  The equipment does not make the photographer.  Talent and creativity make the photographic artist, but a certain amount of tools in the toolbox and a certain amount of investment in gear is needed to insure each wedding goes seamlessly.  Equipment goes down, things malfunction but if properly prepared it does not matter…a beautiful record of the bride and groom’s special day will result regardless.

Artistic Soup Wedding Photography takes its role at your wedding or event very seriously and leaves nothing to chance.  We are experienced professionals with an educational background in photography, extensive hands-on experience, utilize professional equipment with back up equipment and have a long list of happy customers which speaks volumes.

Give us a call for a complimentary consultation to discuss your big day! St. Louis Wedding Photography is our specialty but we also love to serve destination weddings, event, family and lifestyle portraiture.

Come see for yourself the friendly, creative, and skilled services of Artistic Soup Photography. We look forward to meeting you!

 

Rice – Johnson Wedding March 6, 2010

On a gorgeous spring day, Elizabeth Rice and Kris Johnson were married at the Graham Chapel at Washington University.  Fun photos followed on the campus grounds, Grand Basin in Forest Park, Busch Stadium downtown and then at the unique and artistic Mad Art Gallery where the reception was held.  Friends and Family enjoyed a delicious tapas meal, jail funny faces photos and a lot of dancing.  We loved the venues and those we photographed.  Thank you for having Artistic Soup Wedding Photography captured the great day!

Katie & Greg’s Engagement Session – February 28, 2010

Katie & Greg wanted a unique location for their engagement session and their choice was the Magic House, a Children’s Museum in Kirkwood, MO.  And it truly did offer a unique space for Artistic Soup Photography to photograph.  Katie dressed in princess attire entering the Once Upon a Time room with her soon to be Prince…I mean groom.  He gently took her hand as he escorted her out of the “carriage” and they had a warm embrace on the “castle’s balcony.”  They danced outside and kissed in the mirrored maze.  Honor to Alice in Wonderland…maybe.  A fun time…absolutely!  Look forward to photographing the upcoming wedding in May…
