Just as there are many famous and artistic fashion designers and artists who are male, there are many famous and artistic wedding photographers who are male. J.R. Sterling and other photographers in his league must keep up with wedding customs, themes, colors, and yes, even dress designs.
Fashion Show Or Wedding Day, Your Photographer Can Help You Look Poised And Beautiful.
Just like a fashion photographer, a wedding photographer has to study ways to make his subject and her outfit the most attractive it can be. Every wedding, might be a sacred ceremony and a grand feast. However, it still has a few elements of the fashion show. A few reasons you might find Sterling perusing the pages of Vogue or Brides magazine are:
1. The silhouette of the dress will affect the balance of every picture she is in on the wedding day. The photographer with the artist’s eye knows this. And he has studied how to strategize the gentle posing of group, solo and couples’ images. Whether the shot is a brilliant photojournalistic moment or a traditional grouping, Sterling feels like it is the photographer’s responsibility to prompt his subject to look their best.
2. Every fabric, chiffon, lace or satin has texture and design that demands a different treatment or understanding of how light and material react together. How can this be studied? You might have caught Sterling photographing or attending a modeling show for the Orlando Bridal Expo as he did on Aug. 7th.
Likewise, you might see him reading a bridal blog, such as SMP. You also might find him hanging out on the computer at a wedding resource or bridal shop.
One such resource is maryjim, a dress shop.
A Fashion Moment Of Elegance Lives Forever In Sterling’s Bridal Portraits.
This is why, for years, brides have trusted him with one of the most significant images of their lives: The Bridal Portrait. In a blink of an eye, he chooses lens, lighting conditions and camera settings that will make the Bride look beautiful and the Groom look powerful.
If you have ever seen a bridal photo in which the beading and the lace fade to a simple bright white, one dimensional image, then you know that photographer has neither studied Vogue Magazines nor his camera text books. (This is why Sterling can confidently look up from the latest copy of Vogue and smile at the competition.)
Sterling’s Fashion Tips For Fall 2016
When asked what fashions the Fall will bring for 2016, Sterling grins and says to expect an overall look of Romance.
1. Although strapless styles still reign supreme, expect to see more straps, small sleeves and necklines that reveal their shoulders.
2. He also predicts that Fall will bring jeweled bling, so pretty that it is an integrated part of the dress with no need for jewelry accessories.

3. Although many weddings will continue to mandate long skirts, pretty trains and the return of the flowing veil, you will also see plenty of short, sexy, sassy dresses for Brides, Bridesmaids and Wedding Guests.
Some of the designs for the season follow traditional designers work. For example, we will see Oscar De La Renta and his famous, tailored ruffles. Again, Marchesa brings us deep scooped backs. Vera Wang accentuates a deep V in the front with a choker neckline. Pictures of all these trends can be seen in-of course- Vogue Magazine.
Whether you are looking for Traditional or Avant Garde, Sterling Photographers will accentuate your personal style of fashion.
