Wes Roberts Weddings - {Why we love engagement sessions!}

March 4, 2015WES ROBERTS WEDDINGSWes RobertsComment

We LOVE shooting engagement sessions! Why you ask…well it is usually the first time we meet our wedding clients face to face and are able to get to know more about them. We also love engagement sessions because it gives our wedding couples time to get to know us as well, how we work, and our laid back style. Doing an engagement session gives you as the wedding client, the opportunity to get relaxed about being in front of the camera. It also will give you great images to share for save the date cards and at your wedding. Many of our clients display their engagement images on their wedding day. Many of our wedding packages come with an engagement session or can be added on to any one of our packages. Say yes to an engagement session! You will not regret it! Contact us today to book your wedding or engagement session!

Wes Roberts Seniors - {Sara Todd}

How can you not smile when you look at this picture?! We had a blast doing Sara’s senior session in Auburn, Alabama. Her mom, twin brother, and she traveled from Tennessee for their session. (We will feature her brother in another post!) We love this image of Sara…she brought a few things with her to showcase her personality and this wide-brimmed had made this image killer! When planning your senior session, try to think outside the box with your clothing and any accessories you might have. We love showcasing your personality and want the images to be about you and what you love. We are now booking Senior Sessions for the class of 2016! Contact us to reserve your spot today!

Our Top 5 Bridal Images...

February 10, 2015Wes Roberts1 Comment

As wedding photographers, we get to see lots of beautiful brides and images that we capture. It’s like Christmas morning for us when we load the memory card onto the computer and view what we have captured during a session. You might be thinking that the cool locations and amazing dresses make the image but really it is the bride, her personality, and the time we get to spend with her to create stunning images. We love doing bridal sessions! It gives us time to get that perfect shot of our brides in their dress and the bride is relaxed and has fun…which is sometimes hard to do on the wedding day. Typically, our bridal sessions last about 2 hours. We seek out several locations that the bride wants to use or sometimes we have locations in mind that we think would make for great images. Not only are the brides more relaxed during their bridal session, but it gives us time to get the know the bride and allows her to get comfortable in front of the camera. Not everyone loves the spotlight, so it is much easier to get camera comfortable during a bridal session than on your wedding day when tons of people may be watching you take pictures. We want to get our brides the best images we can in their wedding dress…after all, this will be the most important dress she will put on in her lifetime! We chose several of our favorite bridal images from recent weddings that we feel display the brides uniqueness, beauty, and personality…all qualities that we aim to showcase during our sessions. Check out some more of our work in our gallery under weddings!

Lauren

Lauren was one of our Senior Models from the class of 2014. We have always loved photographing her and she is a great sport. She pretty much let's us experiment with new ideas and she just goes along with it! Recently she began working at Robin's Nest Boutique in Phenix City, Alabama. We wanted to help the boutique out by providing them with some great images of their new, incoming clothing line. We love teaming up with other local businesses to help promote the cool things they offer. With that being said, we scooped up Lauren one afternoon, she brought some great clothes from the boutique and we went to work getting some great images for Robin's Nest to share. If you have time and are in the area, stop in and check out the store! It is a great boutique with awesome service...Robin or Lauren will help you find that perfect outfit! It's also a great place to find clothing for a senior portrait session! Happy Shopping and enjoy these images we captured of Lauren in the clothing from the boutique!

Continuing on with the “Life to Space” AI series here are a few of the ordinary moments in the extraordinary. You still have to have coffee. I’m loving the ability to create the imaginable with a “pen to paper” (used very loosely) technology. Ideas just fly into my head and as quickly I’m trying to see what it might look like. Im finding that I’m having to use my photography and art director skills the same for the concept, look and emotional feel to achieve the look I want. Again this is all AI generated by me telling it what I wanted. More to come from this series #AIart #midjourney #space #spaceexploration #thefuture #lifeinspace

I don’t really know what to do with this yet, meaning if it stays on this account or not, but I wanted to share anyway. Watching yesterday’s rocket launch made me think about the possibility of what it’s like to live in space. While it would be extraordinary years down the road to have a completely different lifestyle. Yet in the extraordinary there are the ordinary moments. I wanted to play around with a new technology to see what these extraordinary and ordinary moments might look like together. So, here is a look at life in space brought to us by AI. The emotions of what it’s like to prepare to leave to the actual departure. Could you imagine? #aiart #midjourney #space #spaceexploration #thefuture #lifeinspace To be upfront, everything that you see here was created by artificial intelligence and the platform Midjourney. Most everything you see was typed in as a description to the way that I wanted it. This has to be one of the most amazing and powerful technologies in the art world right now and will possibly change the landscape of art as we know it. I believe the future as a photographer/artist will be finding a way to unite traditional art with this new technology. I don’t believe fighting against it will do any good but learning how to embrace it and evolve will unlock the creativity of our minds in a way that we could never imagine.

Just some of the seniors I’ve been able to photograph over the years. These images tell their story and who they are and were. It’s the power of our stories that allow us to relate and connect. I am so thankful that I’ve been blessed with providing images like these to seniors and parents to cherish and look back on, remembering their senior year. 2024, let’s tell your story!

Here is another fun product shot that is surprising once you see the behind the scene. Sometimes simplifying the shot is the best so that the product is the main focus. The fun part about this is that the checkered background isn’t a backsplash but is the inside cover of one of my son’s nascar books. If you are a small biz owner with products that need some life in your pictures, reach out to me and let’s see how I can help. Btw, what’s your favorite hot sauce? Cholula Hot Sauce

So here is my behind the scenes on my setup for the Perfectly Posh lotion shot. Just as simple as a Pyrex dish, some blue printer paper and lifting the dish to move the water. I’ve always loved the challenge of trying to capture a wide range of subjects. I feel like if I can get the lighting concept down, add the creative touch, and keep the end use of the shot in mind, I’ll be able to photograph whatever my client's needs and be a more well-rounded photographer. Would you have guessed the setup would have looked like this? Wait till you see the next product shot I share and the BTS.

It’s always fun to play around and photograph different things. This came in one of my Meg’s (my wife) order boxes, so i decided to see what I could do with it. Just a fun beachy vibe. Btw, check out @innov8tive_posh, Meg raves about their products. Check back for a behind the scenes shot on the next post, you might be surprised how I photographed this.

I love it when I’m blessed with opportunities to photograph people/families over the years. Tabitha and CW are one of those blessings. Since Tab was in high school I’ve been able to photograph her senior pictures. Then I was able to photograph her and CW’s engagement session and wedding, and now as they are expecting their firstborn. We were able to meet up for some beautiful shots around Callaway and Pine Mountain. I am so excited for them and this next stage of life! Give them a congratulations! Btw, If you haven’t seen the work @callawaygardens has put in on the daffodils and tulips, you really need to check it out! Their hard work has really paid off. #wesphotography #alabamaphotography #georgiaphotography #couplesphotography #maternityshoot
