photographer: The Happy Bloom

PartySlate Insight: Justin and Amanda of The Happy Bloom take it upon themselves to be more than just your wedding photographers, ensuring every aspect of your big day is seamless. We admire how their dedication to their brides and grooms’ happiness results in beautiful, natural looking photos. 

Describe your style and/or approach to event photography.

Weddings involve a lot of moving pieces. There are places to be and strict times to be there. It’s easy for a couple, a wedding party or family members to feel overwhelmed by it all. However, we take it upon ourselves to be the calming factor among it all. We approach a wedding day knowing that a few things will run behind and someone will misplace a tie. We’re there to help the day flow smoothly and be the constant wave of ease. Keeping couples (and families) relaxed and happy is the true way to get amazing, natural wedding day photos. When people are calm and content – they let their barriers down. That’s when you get relaxed shoulders, giant smiles and those genuine moments that you’ve always dreamed of for your wedding day photos. Happy, romantic and effortless is what we guarantee.
