Clients Say it Better

We only have one word for Chris Lang and that is awesome. Words cannot explain how impressed we are with his work. His highlight reel was just so good and captured the day so well. We are all about family and you can tell from his photographs he figured this out. Our daughter and son-in-law told us he made them feel so comfortable and just let them be themselves during their photo session. What we feel is most impressive are the special moments he captured. We are blown away at all the special moments he captured which will be memories for ever. He did all this while being very inconspicuous. Most of the time you did not even know he was there.

Wilmington NC Bridal Photography by Chris Lang Photography

One of the questions I get all the time from Brides is, should I get a bridal session? A bride in her wedding dress and no wedding schedule attached equals a great time to creatively use light and photograph you in your dress in ways I normally can not shoot on a wedding day. This allows me to photograph a complete portfolio with multiple styles and allowing to create the latest trends in bridal photography.

Any one that has been married will tell you that your wedding day will be a blur. The great thing about bridals, even if you don’t plan to have a portrait on display the day of your wedding, is that we know going into your wedding that we have you and your dress covered when things get behind schedule on your wedding day.

I think every bride should have a bridal portrait session so to allow a time to create Fine Art Bridal Photography. So if you are still in search for Wilmington NC Bridal Photographers, Check out a bridal galleries.

Whether Wedding Photojournalism, or a more hands on approach. The One thing I have learned is that no two brides are alike and no two brides see a picture the same way. I throw out the cookie cutter and handcraft every wedding picture individually.

The Art of ‘You”

“Lifestyle Wedding Photography”

Lifestyle Wedding Photography may be a bit difficult to define as there is not a industry standard definition. In fact, I do not know of anyone that refers to a wedding photography style to as “Lifestyle Wedding Photography” in itself. I do and here is why. I am a multiple-style photographer. I do not tend to stay in one style of photography but rather photograph several different styles at the same time. For me, lifestyle wedding photography is an attitude, a flexibility, a way to create individual styles that reflect the personalities of my clients. Therefore, it is fluid, free flowing and not bound by any “one” look. That’s why you will see a blend of styles on my website. It is about me creating with your style or “lifestyle,”not just shooting mine. There is a lot that goes into style. Take a little time to read about styles and how I see them.

Lifestyle Weddings is about you, your story, life in the everyday. It is about capturing your wedding and personality in a free-flowing process that allows for your story to “happen.’” It gives me the freedom to do what I do… CREATE. Lifestyle wedding photography has the freedom to be any style, a mix of styles, but most importantly, about you in real life moments and how I see it. Take a little time to read about styles and how I see them and to see a little of mine. Also I hope to reveal the most important aspect of what you get in hiring a professional wedding photographer.

Natural Light Photography

A lot of photographers refer to themselves as natural light photographers So what is natural light photography? Natural light in photography is any source of light that is created by the sun. Natural light is the most basic form of light there is. The quality and amount of light present depends on different variables, most notably the weather and the time of day. As light changes throughout the day so will the light source and style of the photography.

A Few Types of Photo Styles


light & airy wedding photo - Wilmington nc wedding photographer - wedding photo - wedding ideas - bride-groom- chris lang photography

Light & Airy Photography Style

Light and airy photos are created by using low contrast and flat lighting to soften and minimize shadows. This is done in both camera and post production. This can create softer and often more flattering wedding, bridal and engagement photography portraits as fewer shadows also reveal fewer blemishes. Colors in light and airy photos typically fall on the lighter and more neutral side.

Light & Airy

Bold & Colorful Photography Style

Bold & colorful photography is a more saturated look and generally brighter with robust contrast for boldness. The idea of bold and colorful is to create photos that pop, or stand out by enhancing the main attributes of the scene in the picture. This style can be applied on most lighting situations, however light will impact many of the variable in the type of colors.

North Carolina Creative Wedding Photographers

My hands are on every image from start to finish. It is my creativity, artistry, and intent that make your pictures. There is so much more than adjusting a few settings in camera that go into making your pictures... Much of what you see on my website is finished in post production. For example, I will photograph certain scenes with different cameras and technique to give me what I need in post production to create what I was thinking on scene. I create in-camera for specific picture styles that need to be created in the post process.

For me, handing my pictures over to someone else for post production just does not feel right. I can not expect another person to finish what I saw, felt and intended to create on scene. Especially when I photograph for creative style such as black and white where I might keying in on a small detail or shadow that needs to be enhanced a certain way in the post production process. They would not have the same attachment, responsibility, or intrinsic value that I have when creating something that I started..read more….

    Bridal Session at the River Landing Country Club | Wallace North Carolina | Chris Lang Photography

    A rainy day could not stop making Christina’s bridal session at the River Landing Country club in Wallace NC.   River Landing weddings are always a joy to shoot as there are so many great photography locations in River Landing.

    Christina wanted her bridal portrait made at River Landing so any time I can shoot there without a wedding schedule attached I’m in.  Any wedding photographer will tell you wedding days fly by and much of the day is run and gun.   Having an hour or two to take our creative time with a bride alone and no wedding day schedule attached makes bridal one of my favorite sessions.   I think every bride should have a bridal session because it allows me to document and create with different types of light that I would not normally get on a wedding day.  If you are looking for a North Carolina Wedding Photographers, drop me a line or stop by my Lifestyle Wedding Photography site to see my signature style of wedding photography. 


    Cheers!

    Bridal Photography Session with Courtney at Airlie Gardens


    I was really looking forward to the bridal session with Courney at Airlies Gardens where she was having her wedding.   First was that Courtney was awesome work with and fun to be around.  Second was I know I got to control the time with no wedding schedule.  This means lots of time and no pressure to be anywhere in 2 minutes.  For every bride who is now married you know what I mean.

    Airlie Gardens weddings are amazing but when you have just the bride in this amazing garden wedding venue for a few hours it to create must have bridal photos in the garden it is a real treat.  There are so many locations to photograph in Airlie that you have to pick and choose as the creative backdrops are endless in my mind.  Of course on of the most iconic pictures to have made is the Pergola at Airlie Gardens.

    Bridal Session with Lana | Wilmington NC Wedding Photographer | Chris Lang Photography

    One of the great things about bridal photography as a creative profession is I get create a multiple style portfolio for brides.   With no wedding schedule rushing us, we get to take the time to have fun and relax and create some awesome bridal portraits.   

    Bridal Picture in the Garden of the Arboretum in Wilmington NC - Alice in Wonderland bridal concept and ideas

    Had a great time with Lana creating  a mixture of styles and looks.   The first picture I had the concept of alice in wonderland look and feel so I concentrated on lighting the sunflowers with a strobe directly  behind Lana pointing upwards and then another strobe on light stand at top left with grid to control the spread and maintain the detail in her awesome wedding dress.

     Bellamy Mansion Wedding | Vanessa & Seth


    Vanessa & Seth had their wedding and reception at the Bellamy Mansion in Wilmington NC.   I could not have had a better time with such two awesome people.   You will see what I mean when you watch their highlight reel.  They had the best first dance I have had the pleasure to photograph and video.  Spoiler alert it is at the end of the video as an outtake.

    Not only Were Seth & Vanessa a blast work with, they had such a cool how we met story.  He are a few words from Venessa:

    "Seth and I met like a scene in a romantic comedy! I was sitting at my gate at Wilmington International Airport at 6:30 am, reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and Seth came and sat a few chairs diagonally across from me. From this moment on, I was only faking to read! Haha, I could not concentrate, as we kept staring awkwardly at each other making eye contact here and there. As we boarded the plane, Seth got in line behind me. My heart was racing with butterflies. I sat down in my seat on the plane and turned to see Seth standing there as he said, "I think that's my seat..." pointing to the window seat, with a smile on his face. I responded, "No it's not!" and we both laughed. In a two seater row, there we were, just the two of us... and we talked the entire flight! We hit it off so seamlessly and discovered that we only lived a few miles apart from each other! At the end of the flight, Seth asked for my number and the rest is history! :) "

    OK so now it's time for some video.  I filmed the highlight reel for their wedding as a supplement to a full video production wedding.  The highlight reel is short film that mirrors the photography process and is intended to be just a snapshot only of the wedding day though short video clips.  This was one instance I had video rolling for the the first dance.   I did not know Vanessa & Seth were going to break out into such a awesome  first dance.   Like every first dance it started out traditional and then to the guests surprise, Vanessa & Seth broke out into some pretty sweet moves.  




      

    I could not have had any more fun at their wedding.  Such an awesome fun couple.  On a funny note, The next day I dropped my Mom and Brother  off at the airport  as they were flying back to San Diego.  About an hour later I got a text from Vanessa.   "We are sitting behind  your Mom and Brother on the plane.  Small world...  well Wilmington is probably the smallest airport in the world.  



    If you are looking for a wedding venue in the Wilmington Area, take a look at Bellamy Mansion.  Bellamy Mansion Weddings are a lot of fun to photograph and working within the area provides such a classic backdrop for wedding photography.

    A River Landing Bridal Session  

    Courtney looked amazing in her dress.   We had the perfect backdrop of River Landing to create her bridal portfolio.   As with any session, you can try your best to plan around great light and weather but ultimately you are at the whim of nature.  Our session was under very dark storm clouds.  One of the great things about shooting and creating different photography styles, is that you don't have to be pin-holed into any one style.  The thing is I like so many styles, that it is often hard for even me to choose a favorite version of a single picture.  There are so many factors that go into  creating.  From the light to the texture, to the colors, to the style,  and most important,  the personality of the people you are photographing.      With every bridal session,  I give my brides a variation of styles even producing different versions some of the same picture.  One thing is for sure... no two bridal sessions are the same.  Here are just a few from Courtnei's bridal.

    Photographing Bridals on a cloudy or off & on rainy day. How to deal with the flats (flat light).   The first set in this series I created a softer pastel style to work with the light that we had for the day. It was cloudy with darker grey clouds that produces a very flat light.  While you can never predict what kind of light you will have on a session, or a wedding day, you always have to be creative and flexible with what you have.   I think you can get amazing pictures regardless of light, but it will for sure impact some style and color.   Since the light was flat, I created a flat style to bring out the light.  I also want to bring a better balance and warmth to offset the grey's with a few different techniques of color cross processing.   Below is a picture with a flat process and the natural color that we were working with.
