As years of experience has shown us here at Aventography: the key is in the details. We see countless couples, but what stands out about each and every individual one, is the details they choose to represent themselves. It could be a piece of jewelry that has been in the family forever, or a specific theme such as country lodgings: all the little things add up to a splendiferous outpouring of the celebration of the moment. There’s nothing that you can come up with that would not be noticed by our eyes; to help you gather more thoughts on how to choose the little things here are some suggestions.

Tradition: A wedding is a symbol for the coming together of two people, and two families. When you’re deciding what to choose to help contribute to the feel of this celebration, consider implementing a family or cultural tradition; henna tattoo for instance is a beautiful representation. Another form of tradition may be the showcasing of a tried and true one; something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. When traditional details are captured, they come to life!

Special Moments: Is there a memory between you and your loved one that stands out above all the others? Then perhaps you can implement a detail that incorporates that moment into your celebration. A meeting on a beach that turned into a magical night between you two can be represented by a nautical theme, maybe something small, like a shell, that only the two of you will know. It’s a way to share not only a moment that you both treasure with family and friends, but also a way to show one another love, and care.

Shared Passions: Couples come together over commonality; your compatibility stems from either shared experiences or passions. Sharing a passion like art, or movies can be symbolic of how you chose one another to spend the rest of your days together.  Maybe you both met at a baseball game, and you both are massive Astros fans; we’re not saying have an Astros themed wedding, but maybe a little baseball party favor, or a small baseball object for table center pieces will be enough to remind you both how you came to be.

Whatever fine detail you want to add to your wedding. Aventography will be sure to capture every one, so you’ll have the special memories captured to enjoy for a lifetime.

We’ve all seen old black and white photographs, whether they are wedding photos of our grandparents, stills from great battles from over a century ago, or of great presidents and royalty from by gone years. With all our technological advancements, we still see monochromatic photography today. There must be some reason that we forgo color for certain moments we choose to capture. Black and White photography seems to call back to another era; it has a timelessness about it. By making our photographs like those of yester year, we hope to make our moments have the gravity and significance of those events, and often times, that juxtaposition between then, and now has a timelessness all it’s own.

Complex feeling

In today’s modern sense, taking the color from a photo seems simple enough; but the truth of the matter is, it’s so much more complex. One could make a case for black and white as being an evocation of our past, asking to give us the same sense of grandeur that it has. Black and White photography takes a moment, and makes it a part of history, our own personal record of our lives. As a personal account; there’s an old dusty photograph that sits in my family home, somewhere between childhood and graduation, a black and white photograph of my uncle. He’s much older now, with a wife and child, a steady job, car payments and a mortgage. But in that photograph, he’s seventeen, care free, and alive with youth, doing some areal maneuver on his well-worn skateboard. That moment feels classic now, like it was made to be captured, and looked at for the rest of history.

There’s an emotional element to black and white photography that color cannot capture. Happiness, joy, and love can all be displayed easily because the subject is the focus and not the variations of color. It’s a simple kind of beauty that will stand the test of time.

Marriage is a monumental step in one’s life, and the significant moment in which you and your love are showing to each other that you are each other’s life’s companions. When deciding on the location of your wedding or engagement photographs, it’s always important to try and capture the grandeur of the moment. Some locations to consider when capturing this moment in your lives?

• Marble: Like the photo above, the marble columns and railing can help add a depth to the photography in terms of contrast and subject. We’ve all been privy to the great accomplishments of classical architecture and art; the marble can help instill that into your photographs, adding another element to the grand scheme.
• Art Pieces: When it comes to art, Houston has a wide variety of art installations around the city for it’s citizens to enjoy. Finding one of these grand pieces is half the fun! This option can be especially appealing to the art loving couple looking to capture a moment with their shared interest.
• Nature: Mother nature can offer some astounding contrast for you and your beau to enjoy as a background for years to come. Just think of capturing your silhouettes against the setting sun reflected off a lakes surface. Greenery is a wonderful subject, and can add just the right amount of color to your and your love’s photos.
• Locations dear to you: This one is more on the personal side. These monumental locations, are near and dear to your heart. Perhaps it’s the place your first met? An arch way where you first saw them walk behind the corner? Whatever the case, capturing that time will be just another moment you two share in this life together, but you’ll have a photo, a magical image that you’ll be able to turn to, and smile.

We’ve all been familiarized with the adage: “The wedding is the ‘bride’s day.” Here at Aventography we’re familiar with capturing what’s important, and to us, the bride is one half of the perfect story. When capturing the bride, we focus on a few key elements, and no matter the culture, or heritage, these elements forever remain the same.

• Her happiness: Smiles are meant to be captured! The bride’s smile is perhaps the most important feature showcased in the album of moments. Engagements and Weddings are joyous occasions of celebration of the love between two people. We love to capture those special little moments where the bride’s personality and smile truly shine through. Just take a look at our work!
• Details: Every bride, no matter the culture, pays attention to the details of her wedding. It may be the center pieces, a vintage sash that she inherited from her mother, or just a piece of statement jewelry that she wants to have to make her dress pop. We capture every detail that has been painstakingly decided on, so that when you look back on this moment, you remember all the love, and work you put into that special day.
• Moment with Groom: Now these are the moments that Aventography loves to capture. The happiness, and the details all were made to be apart of this moment. Whether they are looking into each others eyes, or posing for a comical shot; these moments were meant to be captured in a way that showcases their love, and personality. It’s the moment, when the two halves to the perfect story, become one.
