Photographing a bride suite, Marriott Minneapolis

35 minute video.

In this video, I take you through a photoshoot I conducted at a Marriott hotel bridal suite in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. I discuss the process of styling the room, positioning the wedding dress, and adjusting the lighting to create a visually appealing composition. Throughout the shoot, I emphasize the importance of moving furniture and using different lenses to capture the best angles. I also touch on the technical aspects of tethering my camera to Capture One for live adjustments.
