and the overall experience that I love so much.\u00a0 However, to spite my love for Miami Weddings and this being the backbone of my business, I need to come out and express that it&#8217;s not all good, all the time.\u00a0 It&#8217;s just not.\u00a0 Here is the thing..<\/p>\n<p>All weddings are challenging, they all seem to follow the same framework, and all of them at one point or another seem to get delayed.\u00a0 This unfortunately is more common place than not, and [perfectpullquote align=&#8221;left&#8221; bordertop=&#8221;false&#8221; cite=&#8221;&#8221; link=&#8221;&#8221; color=&#8221;&#8221; class=&#8221;&#8221; size=&#8221;&#8221;]I want you all to know that I move the world in an attempt to get the most from your wedding day.\u00a0[\/perfectpullquote]<\/p>\n<p>Seriously, I don&#8217;t know anyone else who is as dedicated, and as creative with the timeline as me, to ensure the best possible results on the wedding day.\u00a0 I am practically a planner, and at the end of the day I do in fact input a lot into the final timeline of any wedding day to ensure expectations are met (and exceeded).\u00a0 This is a huge add value to you as my client, and something you really need to consider when &#8220;shopping around&#8221; for a photographer.<\/p>\n<p>Now.. regardless.. there are times when all of this still will not be enough!\u00a0 There are times, and I have several clients that insist on NOT seeing each other before the ceremony (also known as a &#8220;first look&#8221;) and yet, still expect a storybook full of impressive images.\u00a0 So, the only other way around this is to in fact plan on doing an after session.\u00a0 This is what is known as a &#8220;post wedding shoot&#8221; or a &#8220;styled shoot&#8221;.\u00a0 Basically like an &#8220;engagement session&#8221; but is done after the wedding is over.\u00a0 \u00a0This is where you can get back into your wedding dress, and we can do out on a different day and get more controlled images, in a verity of locations.\u00a0 This would all be impossible to do on the wedding day, and is the best option for Miami Weddings where there will not be enough time to get styled, creative shots of the bride &amp; groom on the wedding day.\u00a0 This also allows them (you as the client) to relax more on the actual wedding day, not have to stress about creative shots as much and spend more time with family and friends.\u00a0 So, for the &#8220;right&#8221; couple this is a no brainier and the best way to roll.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, I am a huge fan of this \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Check out a few of these images of this beautiful couple (who flew all the way from China to shoot with me here in Miami!)\u00a0 Truth is, they flew from China to Texas for work.. and then flew to Miami from Texas to actually just shoot with me!\u00a0 I was honored, and I think it was time well spent.\u00a0 \u00a0Here are a few that I personally really loved:<\/p>\n<p>TH<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7606\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travisharris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Miami_Weddings-1.jpg\" alt=\"Miami Weddings\" width=\"784\" height=\"980\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travisharris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Miami_Weddings-1.jpg 784w, https:\/\/travisharris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Miami_Weddings-1-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/travisharris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Miami_Weddings-1-768x960.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 784px) 100vw, 784px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For the location, we went to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fairchildgarden.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fairchild Tropical Gardens<\/a>.\u00a0 This is one of my favorite places to shoot.\u00a0 I mean, just look at all the amazing colors here!<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7607\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travisharris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Miami_Weddings-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"980\" height=\"653\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travisharris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Miami_Weddings-2.jpg 980w, https:\/\/travisharris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Miami_Weddings-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travisharris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Miami_Weddings-2-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/>One of the things that makes me very unique as a Miami Wedding Photographer, is my unbelievable ability to mix natural lighting with artificial lighting (flash).\u00a0 This gives me SO much more control than that of what most photographers do, and the end results truly stand out.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travisharris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Miami_Weddings-3.jpg\" alt=\"Miami Weddings\" width=\"784\" height=\"980\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travisharris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Miami_Weddings-3.jpg 784w, https:\/\/travisharris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Miami_Weddings-3-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/travisharris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Miami_Weddings-3-768x960.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 784px) 100vw, 784px\" \/>For example, this back-lit shot of the couple with the sun.\u00a0 This comes together well with the lighting that I also added in the field, and gives a very controlled, yet &#8220;soft&#8221;
