While we are working closely with our brides, it is essential to learn about your wedding day. We love to learn about the wedding vibe, and all that you have planned thus far. As your Wedding Photographers it is essential for us to capture these must have Wedding Photos for our clients on the day. We work beside site coordinators and wedding planners seamlessly in the process of creating ensuring the day flows perfectly. Additionally, we infuse our Wedding Photos with additional Wedding Photography Styles for our brides to receive a true curated Fine Art collection and experience. As creatives, we essentially are not working from a Wedding Photo Shot List, however, I like to mention it is a creative recipe I have built over ten years of experience working in the wedding, fashion, and beauty industry and culmination of my time to curate your day to perfection.

While in the process of curating your dream wedding photos, we will review details such as your beautiful wedding dresses, wedding day details, bridal glam, your wedding venue, and so much more together.

With a documentary photography and photojournalistic approach to the day, we find these moments will naturally unfold in front of our lens throughout the day. Throughout my ten years of experience in the industry, I have found a few Must Have Wedding Photos that my clients absolutely treasure and below we’ll take a moment to review those details below and my approach.

Bridal Details

Your day is officially here and you have so many beautiful things to celebrate. The love of your life, your families union, best friends joining from afar, and wow, you have spent hours culminating all of these incredible details. From the Pinterest boards, to conversations with family, visions with vendors. And your day is OFFICIALLY HERE. You look around the room and the moment is perfect. All of the details came together so beautifully…. Now let’s chat a bit ABOUT the details!

These are the items you curated so beautifully. Now, with that being said, they deserve JUST AS much attention. On the wedding day, I will photograph a culmination of beautiful flat lay details to capture those to utter perfect. I cannot wait to see EVERYTHING!

Pre-Ceremony Anticipation

In the morning of a wedding nerves may be running a bit high. I absolutely love capturing that pre-ceremony anticipation. A few moments as the groom prepares to read his vows. The bride steps into her gown. The moment she sees herself in the mirror. So special. The bridal reveal. Even more exciting! Moments I treasure capturing as a Wedding Photographer.

Example: Engagement, Wedding Bands, Wedding Invitation Suite from a Fall Crossed Keys Estate Wedding.

The Reveal

During the ceremony or first look you will share a few emotive reveal moments. Here is another one of our favorite and must have photos for the day. It is a time for you to just take it all in and enjoy this very special moment the day as you become husband and wife.

On our wedding day, I remember, the moment of our first look, when my father walked me down the aisle, and when I was at the altar… These moments I treasure to this day. The moment at the aisle. We held on so tightly as if nothing in the world mattered… It felt as through we were the only people in the garden. We were so present in each and every single moment on our day and it was incredibly special.

Example: The emotive reveal at the altar at this Summer Congress Hall Cape May Wedding.

Flower Girl(s) & Ring-Bearer(s)

Were you ever in a wedding as a kiddo? Remember that special time of looking up at the beautiful bride? I can sure remember when I was a flower girl and remember that special moment. It is so special to capture the little kids as they are all dressed up beside the bride and groom and their parents.

Example: An intimate moment with the Bride and Flower Girl at this Summer Cape May Wedding moments prior to her departure to Ceremony.

Romantic Bridal and Groom Portraits

As we capture your portraits on the wedding day, we love the romantic embraces. We love as couples soak in the moment. During your portraits, take this time. Soak in all of these moments as they go by ever so quickly. During your formal portraits, we will provide direction to walk you through the process for romantic, editorial portraits whilst also capturing the organic, unrehearsed documentary moments as they unfold naturally in front of my lens.

Example: A few intimate bride and groom portraits at golden hour during this beautiful Spring wedding at the Coach House at the Ryland Inn.

Family and Wedding Party Portraits

Your favorite people are here celebrating the most treasured days of life with you. We are so thrilled to capture such special moments and memories with your Wedding Party and Family on your wedding day. From Family Formals to the candid moments as they naturally unfold, all of these moments are so special!

Example: Picture-perfect moments during family formals at this fall Crossed Keys Estate Wedding | Joyful moments during Wedding Party formals at this Ryland Inn spring wedding.

Choreographed Dance Sets

Sharing your first dance together as husband and wife is one of our favorites to capture. We love the energy, excitement, and emotion. We love to see our couple’s epic choreography skills perfected with lifts and romantic dips!

Example: What a romantic first dance ‘on the clouds’ at the Park Chateau Estate & Gardens!

Shot lists are used to keep in organized and in order as the wedding day progresses. As a seasoned wedding professional we have curated our own unique wedding photography shot list. Our wedding photography shot list is unique to our brand and our most-loved photographs by our Wedding Photography clients. The shot list includes some ‘must-haves’ incorporating a creative conception of the wedding day vision by New Jersey Wedding Photographer, Michelle Behre. Below we have some frequently asked questions that we address for brides-to-be.

After ten years of photographing weddings, Michelle has found what has worked to provide her clients with a superior photography and wedding day experience. So with her knowledge at the forefront working with real brides she has found working off ‘a list’ interferes with moments as they unfold. It is our goal for the day to flow organically and naturally and is only appropriate while photographing formals to capture the authentic documentary and photojournalistic moments of the day as they naturally unfold. Rather than your day feeling as though it is a checklist, we want for the moments to be occurring naturally. We want for you to soak in every moment as it comes and to move through each step authentically. With that being said, we would refrain from the moments feeling forced or unnatural as though they are compiled from such list. Her approach will achieve consistent series of images throughout her portfolio of the timeless moments as they naturally unfold and romantic portraits.

Learn more about the Wedding Photography Styles Michelle photographs on the wedding day.

How do you achieve consistent Wedding Photos from wedding to wedding?

Wedding Photographer, Michelle Behre Photography works within her series consistent images she captures throughout the day for her couples. After years of experience, we capture the authentic images and workflow through the day with moments captured leading up to each event as planned and thoughtfully curated for each bride-to-be that steps in front of her lens.

Example: Beautiful bridal portraits captured at The Crossed Keys Estate Wedding Venue | Romantic bridal portrait The Ryland Inn Wedding Venue.

What moments to do you capture in your Wedding Photography?

As we photograph the wedding, we are there through each step of the way from the wedding welcome party, from the moments the bride is having her makeup and hair finishing touches up until the grand exit to the day-after party … We capture the authentic moments as they unfold. A few of our favorite moments include the timeless bridal portraits such as timeless and classic moments as the bride steps into her gown, moments as the groom gets in his tux, beautiful bridal portraits, handsome groom portraits, to first dance .. so many more.

Learn more about what New Jersey Wedding Photographers capture throughout the wedding day here.

Example: Beautiful bridal portraits at the Park Chateau Estate and Gardens to an epic dance party!

Are there times in the day you may use a list?

Throughout the day we follow the Wedding Photography Timeline. This timeline is thoughtfully curated by the planner, client and beside the Wedding Photography team. As we have photographed an abundance of beautiful weddings, these images are photographed throughout the day naturally. The images that we will use a list for will include the formal portraits. Here we may reference guest names so everyone is feeling comfortable, confident, and excited for their portrait to be captured!

Example: A few emotive moments captured during the first dance at this The Park Chateau Estate and Gardens wedding.

When choosing your New Jersey wedding venue, wedding planner/day-of coordination services, venue and your bridal fashion are all huge decisions on how you will experience your wedding day. Choosing your New Jersey Wedding Photographer makes a major impact on how you will walk through your wedding day, the experience you will have and how you will memorialize your wedding looking back on your day for years ahead and passing down your images from this generation to the next with your wedding photos.

Photographing weddings is an art form. Whilst many bride-to-be think that simply anyone with a cell phone or camera can document a wedding day, again, capturing the wedding day is an art that takes years of skill, stamina, creativity, experience, and team work. For your wedding, you should be investing in a seasoned and skilled New Jersey Wedding Photographer, that is not only exceptionally skilled in all forms of Photography, yet has the photography style that reflects the aesthetic you desire to capture throughout your wedding milestones and can curate that style for your wedding welcome party, rehearsal dinner, wedding day and day-after.

“I never thought of myself as doing anything other than telling stories”
– Erich Lessing

When choosing your Wedding Photographer, find one whose work you can imagine yourself in. Works that you feel so deeply connected to that you cannot imagine anyone else capturing your day. You are hiring your Wedding Photographer for their trained artistic eye. Their art shares your wedding day and their artistic/creative message. If you are seeing their images and thinking to yourself, ‘this is how I want to feel on my day. This is how I want to walk through my wedding day.’ Then you know this is your Wedding Photographer. You have found your ‘perfect-person.’

On the wedding day, and in over a decade of capturing beautiful wedding days, we have found there are an abundance of genres captured. Here we will take a moment to describe each Wedding Day Genre that we photograph and our approach in our creative style that we have curated and fine-tuned over the last ten years of Photographing Weddings in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, New England and California. Are you interested in learning more about Michelle Behre Photography and her approach and availability for your Wedding? Inquire to learn more about her Wedding Photography Services.

Classic & Traditional Portraiture

On the wedding day, classic and traditional portraiture consist of beautiful formal portraits that are posed. These classic, elegant, and timeless posed portraits are captured with you and your loved ones smiling and looking at the camera. We capture classic and traditional portraits of the bride and groom, wedding party, family, and moments during the cake cutting.

Example: Family Formals at Crossed Keys Estate from Ariel + Bryan’s romantic fall wedding.

Documentary Wedding Photography

Michelle Behre Photography prioritizes the authentic wedding day moments. On the wedding day, New Jersey Wedding Photographer, Michelle Behre uses a photojournalistic and documentary photography approach to capture the moments organically. These are the moments that shine through your wedding day collection. These are the moments that share the story of your day. From capturing the unexpected moments with her creative and unique vision, to capturing the timeless and editorial portraiture, Michelle’s goal is for you to feel the joy of your wedding as you view the collection and reminisce the the joyful moments passed.

Documentary and Photojournalism Capturing the Day

To do just that, Michelle uses an organic approach to capturing the wedding day with photojournalism. She finds the beauty in the in-between moments, movement, and capturing the authentic emotion as it unfolds in front of her lens. She captures the moments authentically without interrupting the moments and uses her images to narrate and share your story authentically as the day naturally unfolds. Inserting herself and gaining comfort and confidence with each person who steps in front of her lens, Michelle has the ability to walk into each wedding day and capture the moments that you will look back on years to come naturally as they unfold in front of her lens.

If Michelle finds that the train of the dress needs to be fixed, or if some direction needs to be provided for a more flattering image; Michelle will insert herself into the frame. This is documentary photography approach. The two styles of photography, documentary and photojournalism merge beautifully while curating on wedding days.

Is this the style that you are dreaming to have your wedding captured? Inquire with Wedding Photographer, Michelle Behre to learn about her availability for your Wedding.

Example(s):

Culinary Photography

During cocktail hour and the reception, creative photographs of the stunning culinary displays and dining options will be photographed. Here, Michelle will utilize her skills in culinary ‘food’ photography to photograph the stunning displays and arts.

Example: Cocktail Hour details at the Park Chateau Estate & Gardens.

Flat-lay Photography

Wedding day flay-lay photographs are curated to perfection. Michelle utilizes your and your husband wedding day details to thoughtfully capture flat-lay photographs of the thoughtful details that you have so carefully curated. All moments of your wedding are carefully curated and carefully captured by New Jersey Wedding Photographers.

Example: Ariel + Bryan’s Crossed Keys Estate Invitation Suite, Engagement ring and wedding bands

Editorial Photography

Once a stunning traditional portrait is preserved, Michelle will guide you and your husband through a stunning bridal and groom portrait session capturing a fusion of timeless and classic editorial, documentary and photojournalistic portraits on your wedding day providing you with a variety of picture-perfect, cover-worthy editorial images. These images will have a curated, magazine-spread-like feel. Editorial images are compelling, creative, visually driven and curate your wedding day narrative. Pointing directly back to your documentary and photojournalistic images of your wedding day collection, the editorial portraits compliment the raw emotive moments beautifully.

Example: Bridals, Bride & Groom, Wedding Party Formal Portraits at The Ryland Inn.

Aerial Photography

We believe in curating from all angles. Whether that be from a second story window, balcony of the church or via aerial drone footage, Michelle Behre Photography utilizes different view points to share and document the day.

Example: Looking up at this couple during their Monmouth University Session.

Monmouth University, Mounmouth, New Jersey Engagement Session

Environmental Portraiture

As we capture your romantic wedding day portraits, Michelle will capture the setting of your Wedding Venue using Environmental Portraiture as you explore the space together in joy.

Example: Romantic and dreamy portraits of Michele + Tom at Crossed Keys Estate.

Film Photography

Film captures a true sense of nostalgia, longing and depth to images showcasing a sense of timelessness. Michelle loves to incorporate Polaroid and black and white images into her Wedding Photography.
