Evermore Stories

I usually go live for our giveaways, but this holiday season has us running and since we're short on time we did a digital drawing! .... The winner is...... Congratulations @Harley LeJeune 🥰 I'll be inboxing you some details shortly.

“Breaking” into the industry is hard. Starting out in the photo video industry and walking into a wedding day next to a respected veteran in the industry.. I felt a bit like this. Out of place. I felt like I didn’t belong or I was undeserving of the title photographer or videographer. Standing next to others who had so much wisdom and incredible technique.. I couldn’t help but feeling like my newness was obvious. Well, the one thing I can agree with Raygun about is that she did bring creativity to the table. Similarly, from the day I started, until now (with years of experience under my belt), I’ve always been an artist. Not everyone will like it. Not everyone will respect it. Still, it brings me joy and it brings others joy. As long as that remains true, you guys are stuck with me! Veteran status isn’t required —passion and persistence are your greatest tools. • Develop a unique style to stand out. • Keep learning and honing your skills. • Invest in quality gear as you grow. • Master storytelling in your visuals. • Be persistent—success takes time. • Network with industry professionals. • Build a strong online presence. #memecut #capcut #raygun #photographers #relatable #videograpghers #memes #2024olympics

Story-time… The first time I filmed a first look, I was more nervous than the couple. I was so afraid to blow it or ruin their moment. While I didn’t “blow it” - there was definitely room for improvement. 1. Stay Quiet and Unobtrusive: Let the moment unfold naturally without interrupting. Silence your camera’s beeps and avoid unnecessary movements to maintain the intimacy of the first look. 2. Capture Close-ups and Reactions: I try to get a great wide establishing shot just before the big moment happens, that way once they are in the moment I can focus on the couple’s expressions and emotions. Use a steady hand or tripod for smooth footage, and zoom in to capture intimate details like hand-holding or tears of joy. 3. Film both reactions: If you are a solo videographer, set up a stationary tripod for a second vantage point. If you aren’t able to make that happen (sometimes weddings move quickly) have the couple face each. This way you can film their profiles and capture both reactions. This gorgeous first look between Pete and Madison Lemoine was captured at the historic Hotel Bentley in Alexandria. #firstlook #weddingvideography #weddingvideography #capturethemoment #brideandgroom #louisianaweddings

Kids at weddings: the unpredictable, adorable wild cards! 😄👦🏻👧🏼 At Evermore Stories, we embrace the giggles, the frowns, and even the occasional tantrum, because let’s face it, that’s what makes them who they are! Here are 3 tips for capturing those precious moments with our little wedding stars: 1. Stay Flexible: Understand that kids have their own pace and mood swings. Be ready to adapt your approach and go with the flow. 2. Get Down to Their Level: Literally! Kneel, sit, or even lie down to photograph them at eye level. This creates a more engaging perspective and helps you connect with them better. 3. Use Playful Prompts: Instead of rigid poses, encourage natural interactions and playfulness. Offer a toy, ask them about their favorite things, or suggest a game to capture genuine expressions and emotions. With Evermore Stories, it’s not just about snapping photos; it’s about capturing the joy and spontaneity of every moment, no matter how small. Let’s make magic together! ✨📸 #KidsAtWeddings #CapturingJoy #EvermoreStories
