We Love Pictures: Maike and Travis

Cape Town based wedding photographers Maike and Travis bring a fun new attitude towards wedding photography. This lovely couple adds fun group shots and theatrical props in order to create their signature photo look. This particular photo of the Bride and Bridesmaids is amazing. They substitute in the Groom and Groomsmen as the seamless background. Maike and Travis also choose to have their subjects jumping in mid air. This causes the women in the photo to make funny faces. Its a beautiful shot of what is normally a very boring staged photo.

Maike and Travis also choose to use strobe lights in order to illuminate their objects. Its easy to see that the light is being directed from the right causing shadows of the jumping women to reflect on the linen seamless. This is also a nice way to keep detail in a evening sky yet still get details in the foreground. By doing so the We Love Pictures team manages to capture a lovely African sunset while still highlighting the funny wedding party.
