Chicago based Emmy Award® – winning photographer, Amy Aiello, shares her process behind one of her most memorable editorial inspired wedding shoots.
“Ela knew she wanted a unique photography experience on her wedding day,” states Aiello. “Together with planner, Big City Bride, we created a sort of vignette using the furniture and accessories from the reception. My lighting assistant arrived on scene to set up my White LightningTM lights and Paul C. Buff, Inc. modifiers while I photographed Ela getting ready for the day. Once Ela and I arrived on location, we had a limited time to capture her in her beautiful Berta gown. The goal was to create a fashion editorial feel to Ela’s bridal portraits, while still maintaining a natural look to the photographs.”
