You might already know about a concept I call The Window Effect. If you’ve found yourself on my homepage or have clicked the link in my Instagram bio you’ve seen a free guide I created to help you get that perfect bridal portrait.

It’s no secret- I’m slightly obsessed with natural light! And when I don’t have natural light? It’s my goal to use artificial light to emulate that of natural. So no worries if we get into situations with no natural light, but I don’t shy away from letting couples know it’s my favorite light to photograph their love in!

The Window Effect- what is it?

So what is The Window Effect? Without getting too technical and photographer nerdy on you, it’s the way light filters in through a window and graces over you and your dress, perfectly. It’s some of the most flattering light because it’s directional and we control what angel it falls on you.

This light is typically soft, not harsh, and gives us the opportunity to capture a perfect bridal portrait early in your day. Doesn’t The Window Effect sound dreamy?

These photographs are typically in with my favorites from your day- and with good reason!
