Flash Only Hotel Portraits

Jan

05

When Tiffany contacted me to take more wedding portraits with her family I was booked the day she wanted me on short notice! With her trust, she decided to hire me for whenever I could make it to the hotel where we did photos of just her and Tony the day they eloped. WELL AFTER DARK. This meant this would be my first 100% flash portrait gallery.

I warned them that I had never done a full session with flash only and that I couldn’t guarantee any sort of specific results for flash only formals. I just promised them my best and they were so trusting and happy to hire me for what I could do!

Their first round of photos were so beautiful, I knew I had a reputation to stand up to! I’m just now seeing that I didn’t make it to blogging their first round of photos on the day they eloped! I will definitely be posting those soon as well.

After eloping, they decided they wanted to come back to the hotel for more portraits with Tiffany’s new hair cut and more of their family. Only Tiffany’s parents were able to make it for the elopement!

Nervous but excited, I set up my one flash set-up and went to work with everything I knew! Before I knew it I was sharing the back of the camera and so excited to get home to edit.

Thank you for trusting me and hiring me a second time, Tiffany & Tony! You are such a joy to work with and I love the way you both challenge and encourage me to try new things!

I’m looking forward to many more exclusively flash galleries to come!

Venue: Hyatt Regency Lake Washington at Seattle’s Southport

A little family Wellman Update dump. Morning! I’ve struggled coming back in to write lately. I abandoned my last post in tears over the current state of The Studio. My camera bag was stolen about a year ago. Everything I’ve photographed in 2024 has been on rented equipment. Being abandoned with the children with zero […]

Early October I got to experience an adventurous and romantic Swiss Autumn with my long distance partner. We traveled deep into the Swiss mountains, ate all the yummy food, met old friends, went to a dance party, made some new friends, enjoyed a private sauna with an impressive view, took naps, snuggled, and went on […]

We have to get a little creative here with our PNW Photojournalism. One of the first things you learn as a new natural light photographer is how incredible a big window can make any room look. A tiny corner in the most unassuming place, if sitting close to a window can produce the most magical […]

Tonight, I took the boys to the Everett Haunted Harbor community event! Everyone putting it on was so sweet and we all had a blast! Thank you to all the boat volunteers! We started with trick or treating at the boats, watching witches paddle board around the harbor, petting all the neighbor dogs, and watched […]
