In the caption Gero describes the wedding day by stating, “surrounded by the glow from dozens of starry lights on the stage amidst family and friends, it was a celebration of two great young people, who met in college and are doing great things in their chosen fields (law and medicine).” We can feel the ‘glow’ he describes through his image quality. Gero uses great color tones and composition to tell the story of the day, and it makes us feel we are right there, celebrating alongside the couple!

Master wedding photographer and Sony Artisan of Imagery Kesha Lambert isn’t afraid to take chances with her work. We love this series of images of the bride getting ready with her bridesmaids. The pop of color makes these fun and whimsical, while the black and white image paints the ladies in the fabulous drama. In a similar hairspray photograph, Lambert describes how she anticipates moments like these, “throughout the day there are many special micro moments like this that repeat across almost every wedding that I photograph. Learning when to anticipate these small moments is critical for creating images that truly stand out. I have always loved trying to document the moments of quickly unfolding magic on wedding day, it’s a challenge that never gets old for me.”
