Grooms | Love & Story

More Than Three Frames

Grooms often assume they get a handful of photos while the real session happens elsewhere. That’s not how we work. You get proper portraits, in good light, with as much thought behind them as the bridal portraits — and most grooms who claimed they hated having their picture taken end up asking for more of these.

Whatever You’re Wearing

A raspberry suit on a patio. A red vest and a boutonniere. Grey tuxedo, black bow tie. Pinstripes in the back of a vintage car. If you’ve picked something with personality, we’ll photograph it properly rather than treating it as a background to somebody else’s dress. And if you’re in a classic black tux, that’s its own kind of photograph.

A Drink, a Car, a Rooftop

Some of our favorite groom portraits have a prop in them. A cigar with the smoke lit against a dark background. A glass of whiskey. A seat at the bar before anyone else arrives. A rooftop helipad with the Atlanta skyline behind you. These give you something to do with your hands, which is usually the whole problem.

Quiet Ones Too

Not everything needs a prop. You by a tall window in your tuxedo, in decent light, looking like yourself. Cufflinks going in, shot close and in black and white. These come out of the same half hour as getting ready and they’re often the ones your mother frames.

With Your Guys

Then we’ll get you out with the groomsmen, which is when it stops being a photo session and starts being a laugh. There’s more of that on the wedding party page, and then the two of you once she’s ready.

One Thing to Ask For

Ask your planner for ten minutes. Groom portraits are the first thing to get squeezed when the morning runs late, and ten minutes is genuinely all we need. Put it on the timeline and it won’t quietly disappear.
