Hey everyone, I’m really pleased to finally be able to share these images from Brian & Brent’s Union Station wedding photography in downtown Raleigh.
I’d never had the chance to photograph at Union Station before and it’s a venue I’ve always wanted to shoot at. For Brian & Brent’s day, the aesthetic of the modern architecture, combined with the harsh lighting of the almost cloudless sky, meant I was forced to explore parts of my shooting style I rarely get to use for more than a few minutes on any given wedding day. Luckily, I love a challenge and so shooting in the direct sun was something I really enjoyed and I think the results were pretty special.
Here are just a few of my faves from Brian & Brent’s day…
