About the Studio: A Colourful Approach to Weddings

The studio in brief

We Are For Each Other was the name given to a New York City wedding and engagement photography business active around 2011 and 2012. The archived pages describe a photographer who loves candid moments and who aimed to produce images as quirky, colourful and lively as the couples in front of the lens. Wedding photography was presented as a joyful, personal service, not a formal ritual.

Style

The photographer said she was drawn to bright colour and a quiet, inconspicuous way of shooting. The goal was to capture the feelings of the day without stepping into it, leaving couples free to talk, laugh and move naturally. She described herself in playful terms as a spotter of joy and said she tried to keep people looking and feeling relaxed throughout.

How it began

According to the blog, she began shooting weddings after a friend asked her to photograph theirs. She enjoyed it so much that she set out to offer an alternative to what she saw as bland, robotic wedding photographs.

Travel

Although New York City was her base, she said she liked to travel. The archive shows examples in Vermont and Los Angeles as well as in the city itself.

What to look for in any wedding photographer

Couples choosing a photographer might consider these points:

• Does the portfolio show real moments or mostly posed portraits?
• Is the style consistent across different light and settings?
• How comfortable is the photographer working with families and guests?
• What is the delivery timeline and format for finished images?
