We loved working with Two Roads North! Their aesthetic matched so well with our wedding venue! Our photo gallery contains signature wedding day moments (i.e. first look, getting ready, walking down the aisle) to candid moments of us and the guests which showed emotions that cannot be described without seeing the photos! They were attentive to us from the pre-wedding meeting to the end of our wedding and we're so happy with the work they did!

Anthony and Nicole were the photographers for our wedding and I'm so glad we went with them. They were prompt, professional, and captured every moment that was most important to us and then some. Working with them was a breeze and if we ever get our vows renewed, we will be going with them again! Thank you both so much for capturing our special day!!

While I was already confident in our choice of Two Roads North, the photos were moody, vintage, and we could not believe how perfectly they captured the emotion and overall aesthetic. I cannot recommend Anthony and Nicole more. If you want authentic, candid photography captured by people that feel like friends, pick them. You won't regret it.

Weddings are beautiful stories captured in timeless frames. There's something about the raw, untouched emotions of love that make each photo a masterpiece, a story waiting to be told. As wedding photographers, we have come to understand that every picture has a tale, a memory that deserves to be retained with grace and charm. This blog post is a shout out to all the birds out there, and by that, we mean all the free-spirited wedding photographers who dare to venture out of the traditional church or banquet hall venues and embrace what natural outdoor settings, like beach venues, have to offer. But also - the literal birds that add to the photos taken in these settings!
&nbsp;
We often find myself drawn towards the 'golden hour', that magic time just before sunset when the light is soft, warm, and absolutely perfect for creating stunning images with a beautiful depth of field. The resulting photos are dusted with a warm, golden glow, giving them a romantic and ethereal feel. Indoor venues offer window lighting that can result in great photos, but there is nothing like the great outdoors with natural light. With outdoor venues, we get to be present in nature while capturing some of the most emotional and candid moments of the day, as the excitement starts to settle down and gives way to more intimate and reflective moments.
&nbsp;
Recently, we've also started experiment with film photography at weddings and engagement sessions. There's something incredibly appealing about the unpredictability and uniqueness that comes with film. Each photo is a surprise, a moment captured in its rawest form. The textures, the grain, the vibrant colors - every element adds a unique character to the photo that's hard to replicate with digital photography.
&nbsp;
One of my favorite things about being a wedding photographer is the opportunity to travel and experience different cultures, traditions, and landscapes. Whether it's a wedding in a bustling city like Charlotte, North Carolina or a destination wedding in an exotic location, every place has its own unique charm and beauty that adds to the magic of the wedding photos.
&nbsp;
Outdoor engagement shoots are another aspect of wedding photography that we absolutely love. They offer a more relaxed and personal setting for the couple to truly express their love and personality. It's an opportunity to capture their journey of love, from the excitement and anticipation of the proposal, to the quiet moments of intimacy and connection. It's also an opportunity for us to get to know the couple better as we aim to work together with them to capture photos that are authentic and fit their unique vision.
&nbsp;
In conclusion, the best wedding photographers know that it's all about capturing the essence of the couple's love story, the emotions, the details, and the special moments that make their day truly unique. It's about creating a visual narrative that they can look back on and relive for years to come. And we believe that nature and the great outdoors only enhance the magic. So here's to all the photographers out there, capturing love stories in their own unique and beautiful way.

Harnessing the Power of Nature - Beach Wedding Venues

Wedding photography is an art form that balances tradition and innovation. A beautiful mountain landscape, beach setting, or even an industrial and modern venue is the perfect backdrop to inspire photos that embody the essence of the modern moody wedding photography trend, adding a vintage touch through both digital and film photography. The result is a classic, timeless snapshot of love and commitment.
&nbsp;
In the realm of wedding photography, 'moody' doesn't denote gloominess or melancholy. Instead, it refers to a style that emphasises atmosphere, texture, and a sense of drama. Photographers who work in this genre draw out the profound emotions and unscripted moments that make each wedding unique. By embracing this style, photographers signal a departure from bright and airy shots towards a more nuanced, atmospheric aesthetic.
&nbsp;
By using traditional techniques, photographers can create images with a unique, nostalgic feel, returning to the roots of photography. They often choose to shoot on film for its distinctive aesthetic qualities, including grain, texture, and a broader dynamic range than digital. The resultant photos have a timeless and romantic appeal, perfect for capturing the essence of a wedding day.
&nbsp;
We believe in an artistic approach to wedding photography. This means that the photographer doesn't just document the event; they tell a story. They capture the emotions, the atmosphere, the moments that often go unnoticed. Fine art wedding photographers understand the transformative power of lighting, composition, and color. They use these elements to create images that are not just beautiful, but also deeply emotional and personal.
&nbsp;
The power of this blend of moody, vintage, and fine art photography is evident in the images which evoke a sense of warm, ethereal light in the picturesque setting. The golden hour, the time just before sunset, bathes everything in a soft, glowing light, perfect for creating dreamy and romantic wedding portraits.
&nbsp;
In conclusion, in the world of modern wedding photography, we like to toe the line where tradition meets innovation. By blending moody aesthetics, vintage techniques, and fine art sensibilities, photographers can create unique, heartfelt portrayals of love and commitment. So whether you're a photographer looking for inspiration or a couple planning your big day, remember that the essence of wedding photography lies in capturing not just images, but creating windows into emotions, stories, and moments.

The Art of Moody Wedding Photography: A Blend of Vintage and Modern Techniques

Sometimes our adventures take us to some really special places. The Allen family cottage is one of them. A venue that has played host to two family weddings. Owned by grandparents that have been married for 70 years. A dress that has been worn by a mother and both of her daughters. And a day that didn&rsquo;t go quite as planned. It rained right before the ceremony so the wedding was held in the living room of the cottage. The oldest part of the structure. It will be just a small moment in this family&rsquo;s story. But it was so cool to be a part of it. <a class="x1i10hfl xjbqb8w x6umtig x1b1mbwd xaqea5y xav7gou x9f619 x1ypdohk xt0psk2 xe8uvvx xdj266r x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r xexx8yu x4uap5 x18d9i69 xkhd6sd
