Wedding photography imitating fashion photography


Most girls fantasise about a traditional white wedding dress. But when it comes to wedding photography many would prefer images that look less like the classical wedding photos of their parents, and more like the fashion spreads of the glossy magazines that they have loved since they were little. Images that express something more than the run of the mill—something a bit more mysterious and sexy.

At JoAnne Dunn Photography, we offer couples the option of booking a fashion-like shoot where we break all the rules of wedding photography. There will be only one purpose: making you look beautiful.

Our fashion shoot service appeals to couples that are eloping for their wedding, and for whom the photography might be the most important investment. It also appeals to trendy, fashionable or funky couples that cringe at the thought of classic romantic wedding photography. The shoots are usually a huge amount of fun and the couple’s input is very important to the planning and execution. An open mind, the willingness to play and a little cooperation will guarantee a truly unique collection of photographs.



The fashion shoot can include both portrait and couple shots, and it could take place during the wedding day or on a completely separate day, depending on how many images you want and what style you have in mind. The best lighting for fashion-style shoots is during the two hours before and the hour after sunset. Otherwise we become very limited as to where we can shoot, since we want to try to avoid the hard, horrible light that is at its worst around midday.
