Dana & Nick

A Beacon wedding in portraits and dancing

Dana & Nick’s wedding collection from Beacon, New York, pairs a seated portrait with a photograph of the couple dancing. At the table, champagne glasses and place settings fill the foreground, while the view beyond the windows gives the portrait a wider setting. In the dance photograph, the full length of the dress is visible, with wooden beams and guests around the room.

Bring the setting into a couple portrait

A portrait can show the couple clearly and still leave room for the place around them. Compare the table photograph, where the view sits behind their faces, with the dance frame, where more of the room enters the composition. These two references offer a useful way to discuss the balance between a clear couple portrait and a photograph that includes the celebration.
