BRIDE LIFESTYLE express interview with wedding photographer Carolina Sandoval

What do you believe, is the most crucial aspect for wedding photos to turn out great?

Good preparation and technique are the basis of a successful image, in addition, good involvement in the wedding day will make everything run more smoothly.

What sets you apart from other wedding photographers?

I listen a lot to my couples, and I try to capture their desired mood in my photographs. My style has an artistic but also editorial background and is sensitive and empathetic to the feelings of those in front of me, and this is evident from my photographs.

Why do you think people should invest in wedding photography and organizing weddings?

Because it is a unique memory, and it is worth investing in valid professionals.

How do you adapt your photography style to match the personalities of different couples?

I follow the mood of my spouses while maintaining my artistic side.

What editing process do you follow to reflect the mood and atmosphere of the wedding?

My editing is very natural; I don't use any presets or particular filters.

Can you share a memorable or unique moment you've captured that you're particularly proud of?

Remaining traditional, the brides' dances with their fathers, as well as the grooms with their mothers, are a truly touching moment to capture. Something particular? The unexpected flight of a guest from a cliff during the welcome dinner on the Amalfi coast, crazy!

How do you manage to stay present and enjoy the moment while capturing weddings?

I observe a lot before shooting, and I alternate moments in which I am very present with others where I follow the flow without continuously shooting.

What brings you the most satisfaction in life and your work?

Being able to stop the time with emotions. The wedding day is consumed very quickly by being caught up in so many things, and you don't have the opportunity to fully enjoy them, to look around, the photographs serve to freeze time and retrace it so as not to miss anything.

What does love mean to you, and how does that understanding influence your approach to photographing weddings?

Love over everything. The love I feel for my son. Sensitivity is essential to do this type of work.
