Weddings & Such
Shutter Sweet Photography has been providing custom wedding photography services for brides all over Atlanta, and have traveled the world to photograph weddings as well. We are honored when we’re chosen to capture a couple’s wedding day. Wedding photography is one of the few investments you make on your wedding day that will last beyond the event and we love giving people that gift! With our documentary (or photojournalistic) approach throughout the day, you will walk away with pictures that truly reflect the emotion, real-life events, and details of the wedding and reception exactly as you remember them – maybe even a little better.
The Proposal
We can’t tell you how much fun we have hiding in bushes, staking out roof-tops, or just acting like a tourist to capture the raw emotion and event of a proposal. It is so wonderful to have those moments captured, and even more fun to print the pictures out or post them on facebook to tell your story. Shutter Sweet Photography would love to photograph your proposal so please contact us to talk more about your plan!
The Engagement Session
Getting to know you as a couple is extremely important to our photographers. We will definitely spend some time learning about one another in our initial meeting, but the engagement session is the best way for us to get comfortable together and have fun before the wedding. It not only allows you to get used to a camera being focused on you for an extended period of time, but also allows the photographer to talk about your likes, dislikes, expectations and more! You’ll see how easy it is to get great photos and then you can use them for announcements, guest books, wedding websites, and other things leading up to the big day. The engagement session takes an average of 2 hours and can be held at the location of your choice. We typically like to go somewhere that is meaningful (where you first met, your first date, the place you go once a week to hang out, your favorite park, etc.) and can talk more about that in our initial meeting. Please contact us to schedule something today!
Bridal Portraits
Bridal portraits are another fun way for us to get to know each other better on an individual basis. Most brides will bring a friend, sister or mother along to help with things, which can make for a fun time, but isn’t necessary. We definitely brainstorm together before the shoot to decide on a location that is either meaningful or goes along with your personality and also discuss whether you want props or not. The shoot is all about you and we let you call the shots! Bridal portraits last 2-3 hours and can be at several locations if desired.
The Rehearsal & Dinner
We are happy to add rehearsal coverage and rehearsal dinner photography to any package. Some people really cherish the private time with family and close friends and want to capture those moments before the big day. Weddings are some of the few occasions when most, if not all, of the extended family are together at once. Shutter Sweet Photography will be there with you to capture every step of the way for as long as you want us around. Just let us know!
Your Wedding Day Coverage
The big day is here and we will have just as much adrenaline as you! We’ll be one of the first ones there as you start getting ready and we’ll be one of the last to leave to make sure we get as much captured as possible. However, we won’t be in your face telling you to look this way and tilt your chin that way. Shutter Sweet Photography has a documentary style and we enjoy capturing things naturally as they happen throughout the day. Our photographers try to remain unnoticed, but obviously will step up and give direction when needed (during family portraits for example). When you look back at your wedding pictures, we hope you will be filled with great memories and be pleasantly surprised by the wide range of images from candid shots to sweet memories of the ceremony to the close up photos of details. You will be able to see your images in an online gallery that you can share with family and friends with the option to order prints online. We can customize your package to fit your budget so contact us to learn more. Basic coverage starts at $2,600 with customizable packages. Please contact us to reserve your date as we book weddings up to a year in advance!
Trash The Dress
If you’re back from the honeymoon and don’t plan on saving your dress for a future daughter or saving it for some other reason, let us know! We would love to work with you for a “Trash The Dress” session. Don’t worry – you don’t have to go completely nuts if you don’t want to, but feel free to get as creative as you would like. We could go on a hiking trip with your dress or go to a paintball field with your groom and friends to get colorful. We’re up for anything and would love to get amazing photos of you in your gown for the last time without all the pressure of the big day!
