Behind the Lens: Blush & Pose Photography

A picture tells a thousand words, especially for Caleb and Jasmin from Adelaide’s Blush & Pose Photography. The husband-and-wife duo capture picture-perfect moments that are intimate and real; memories that are frozen in time. We catch up to find out more about the creatives behind the lens.

Tell us how you fell into photography

Before photographing weddings and launching Blush & Pose, we ran a photo booth hire business in Tasmania. With every weekend filled with the excitement of another celebration and meeting new couples, we realised just how much we looked forward to our job. From there, we expanded in Adelaide and moved into photography too and have loved every minute of it.

Describe your style.

We love working with natural colours, so our images look timeless. Our signature style is light and airy, allowing your photos to always look fresh. We value our couples and always ensure everyone feels comfortable in front of the camera, so our approach is always very personable.

What’s it like working together?

Working as a husband-and-wife team is absolutely fantastic. Having two photographers is a huge advantage and it means we get to have fun together, while capturing the day from different angles. In addition, we also cover each other when necessary. Another huge benefit of working together is that we both know what our strengths and weaknesses are. I often tend to focus on the technical aspect, such as the lighting and camera settings, while Jasmin focuses on bringing her energy and creativity. We also complement each other in many ways too.

Our wedding day was 10 years ago and we definitely have some beautiful memories. We chose to tie the knot in a country garden setting in the Adelaide Hills and often look back on our beautiful photos. It’s a day we never want to forget and we treasure all the photographs that we have.

What’s trending in wedding photography?

Candid photography moments have been something our couples have been asking for more and more, so this seems to be trending. People like the formal shots and they definitely still want them, but candid unposed moments are spontaneous and fun. Everyone loves looking back on these kinds of moments. Another strange trend seems to be blurry photos. It’s definitely becoming a thing and we’re seeing this more and more on social media. We can hardly believe it’s on the rise. We don’t think it’s the kind of trend we could embrace and don’t expect it to keep trending in the future.

What’s the secret to taking a good photo?

There’s so much that goes into a photo that it’s difficult to pick one thing and say “that’s it”. You have to consider lighting, the direction of the sun/light, the foreground, the background, the angles and the moment. When it comes to wedding photography, everything is important. However, if we had to give one good tip, it would be to ensure you have a fast shutter speed. This allows you to freeze and capture the moments quickly and you’re less susceptible to camera shake. It’s a great tip for wedding photographers, especially because we’re always on the go and looking out for those special moments to capture.

What advice do you have for brides and grooms when selecting a photographer?

Always arrange to meet your photographers, as this is a great way to get to know them a little. Your photographer/s will be with you the whole day and given that your wedding is such an intimate event, it’s important you hire someone that you feel comfortable with.
