Many elements work together to create the ambiance at a wedding reception. One of those elements is the lighting. Harsh or too dim lighting can affect the overall "feel" of the reception. Luckily, many options are available in lighting to enhance your wedding reception.

Party rental companies rent a variety of lighting fixtures for any type of reception. If you are having an outdoor reception, pathway lights or net lighting for low bushes can add a touch of elegance to the lighting scheme. Also available are tiki torches for a more casual event or ornate chandeliers to illuminate inside a tent.

For an indoor reception, lights can be put on a dimmer and lightened or brightened throughout the evening as the events unfold. Another popular lighting option is pin spots. These focused beams of straight light can be used to intersect and highlight a specific focal point, for example the top of the wedding cake.

Consult a lighting professional for your wedding and reception. They will be best able to design and execute a lighting plan safely. They should also be able to discuss alternating light palates and give advice on what color tones will be most flattering for your specific event. Gold and amber tones are typically the most flattering but pink tones can add warmth to the area.

However you decide to illuminate your event, we would like to be there to capture the beautiful, complimentary tones of your wedding.

One of the things we find helpful as your photographer is to do a walk-thru of your venue with you PRIOR to the wedding day itself. Gives us a good idea about where certain parts of the ceremony will take place, the equipment we'll need, photo ideas, etc. Also, at that time, we'd love to hear about your lighting for the event so we can plan accordingly.

Hope to hear from you soon. We want to be your wedding photographers.
