About Altura Studio

Altura Studio

People say to me all the time: “You're so lucky. You get to go to weddings all the time." They're right. We are lucky. We get to be among people having a great time, looking and feeling their best and participating in what is often the most important day in someone's life.

Here’s the other thing we are lucky to see: the terrific style and creativity that our clients bring to their celebrations. If there is one thing we’ve learned while photographing weddings, it is that a wedding doesn’t have to be expensive to be lovely. We dedicate our blog to sharing the terrific ideas that we’ve seen before and will see this coming season, with a focus on ideas that are simple, elegant and stylish.

Every image in this blog is shot by us at events we've photographed. So, we say "thank you" to our clients who have shared their warmth and happiness with us. 


Updated: Emily + Colin, married june 13, 2009

The raindrops that threatened the morning of Emily and Colin’s wedding only served to make the day more exciting. The morning was warm but overcast, so prudent thinking called for a beautiful white tent. What a lovely setting for this scrumptious wedding.

Emily is graceful, lovely and gracious. Colin is warm, charming and handsome as all get-out. So you can imagine what a pleasure it was for us to photograph the two of them. It’s risky to describe something as “perfect”, but I daresay, everything I look for in a wedding was there. A crazy-in-love couple, a fun group of wedding attendants, an adorable flower girl, loving and connected families, a lush green setting, and even a handsome Labrador to dispatch the ring.

UPDATE: here’s the link to all the photos from the day.

Typically, I take some time and select my 10 or 12 favorite images to post here to give a preview of the day. However, this time I’m driving myself cuckoo because there are simply too many favorites to choose from. There’s my “pretty” favorites, my “classic” favorites, my “oh-i-love-that-one” favorites. I ended my dilemma by posting three sets of “favorite” favorites. Check back here in a few weeks to see all the photos from the day.

In the meanwhile, here’s a little something set to music.
