Nervous about your portrait photography session on your wedding day? Or are you wondering how you're going to make your photos feel like you. Our sponsor, Baltimore-Washington-based Devon Rowland Photography, is here to show us how she puts the “traits” in portraits. (Get it! Omg, I'm so damn clever ridiculous.)
First of all, when this is the reason you start photographing weddings, you're bound to take some amazing personality-capturing shots…
As a photographer, I initially honed my craft by photographing anything and everything I could get my hands on from my everyday life, which often meant offbeat events like burlesque and sideshows, swing dancing (yes, that's still a thing!), and fire performance. When I started photographing weddings, I loved that I was working with couples who put a lot into their big day and making their wedding reflective of who they are together, no matter how nerdy or weird or completely normal that was.
Let's now ogle some of the best wedding portraits you'll see today, and hear about WHY they're so awesome, from Devon Rowland's couples themselves…
Devon was a dream on my wedding day. She had a fun yet grounded personality style that flowed well with all the different personalities of the wedding party. She had creative ideas for our couple shots that weren't forced or trite, and the finished product… OMG! Devon produced the best photos my husband and I have of each other… just breathtaking. I highly recommend this creative, talented photographer!
I can't say enough good things about Devon and her photography! She is a true pleasure to work with — very calm, fun, and kind. My husband and I are not the most comfortable in front of cameras, certainly not for portraits, and she put us at ease. Just as importantly, her work is simply gorgeous. She has a real talent for capturing the spirit of a moment, whether it's sweet or silly.
Devon was fabulous. She took the time to get to know me and my husband and made sure that her photos not only captured the events of the day, but the feeling, and most importantly, the personality that made it truly “ours.”
From bows and nose squishies, to rainy nights and high jumps — Devon Rowland's wedding photography is, well, on FIRE. And if you're in the Maryland and Washington, D.C. area, you, too, can have your own set of perfectly personal wedding photos. Devon is one of the awesome wedding photographers who actually lists their rates! So keep riding this epic wedding photography chain, and head over to her site to book her for your own amazing photos!
