Framing is one of the most powerful storytelling tools a photographer has. Where you place your subject, how you balance foreground and background, and what you choose to include or exclude all shape the emotional meaning of an image.
Thoughtful framing draws the viewer’s eye to what matters most. It can create intimacy by closing in tightly around a tender exchange, or grandeur by pulling back to reveal sweeping architecture and landscapes.
Using natural frames like archways, windows, or foliage can add depth and context. Framing can also evoke feeling symmetry offers calmness, while asymmetry can convey movement and spontaneity.
Intentional framing requires slowing down. It demands asking yourself, "What do I want this image to say?" and composing accordingly.
Great wedding photography is not just about documenting scenes. It is about elevating them into art.
