MY STORY

A MOMENT CAPTURED FOR LIFE MODERN, ELEGANT, FINE ART WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

Hi! My name is Luciane (Luci) and I have been taking pictures since college, where I graduated with a Bachelors in Journalism and a Masters in Social Science.

In college I shot and developed my own film for the school’s newspaper. Since then my love and passion for photography only grew.

That’s when Luphoto.com (Luciane Photography) was born, taking modern pictures and capturing life one picture at a time. My God given talent (and career) was truly a blessing since it is not a job but my passion.

“

HERE AT LUPHOTO

we love natural and timeless images where a moment is captured for life through modern, elegant, and fine art photography.

I specialize in modern, elegant, fine art wedding photography here in Nashville, TN. I love Nashville and I love Weddings. My husband Mauro works as my second photographer and takes care of the back office. We have two beautiful daughters (Malu & Luma).

CLIENT SPOTLIGHT

BARBARA & ISAAC I recently had the privilege of photographing Barbara & Isaac’s gorgeous wedding. Because weddings are a flurry of excitement and special moments between loved ones, family and friends, it is important to not only capture those smiles, demure glances and beautiful flowers; stunning photography also captures the wishes of the client.

How can you be prepared for the biggest day of your life so far?

Here, Barbara and Isaac share: T he biggest surprise about their wedding day .

“Biggest surprise was the lack of time! We had a schedule that we followed but time still slipped away” T heir favorite photo moment .

“Our favorite photo moment was Isaac holding a big turkey from his mom’s farm and me holding a chicken with my white gown. It was the first time I had ever held a chicken so I was terrified but the pictures matched the wedding theme perfectly. “ W hat they loved most about working with L U C I A N E P H O T O G R A P H Y. “I loved how Luphoto captured our story. She didn’t just show up on the wedding day and take pictures but she met us weeks in advance to learn about the meaning behind everything we chose. She chose to engage in every single detail of our story, personalities, theme, location, etc and incorportate each detail into every photo she took.”

H ow to tame those wedding day nerves .

“I honestly was calm during the whole day. I knew it was once in a lifetime event and I didn’t want my nerves to spoil that. What I reminded myself was that I was marrying the one my heart chose, was surrounded by my parents and best friends who supported us and just soaked every moment in with a smile on my face.”

W hich one moment will last for them forever .

Barbara and Isaac say they will most remember the fun time they had dancing. “Dancing at the reception was lots of fun. Our parents, best friends dancing with us being silly and laughing is definitely a moment we won’t forget.”

YOUR WEDDING

A W E D D I N G D AY P H O T O T I M E L I N E A wedding is a whirlwind of events, gone in the blink of an eye. There’s little more important to a perfectly executed event than an organized timeline. If you are looking to effectively plan out your wedding day with your wedding coordinator or fiance, here’s a look at a typical wedding photo timeline from our point of view. We are here to help assist you in planning out your day so that you don’t miss a beat.

6 HOURS BEFORE THE CEREMONY

30 MINUTES AFTER THE CEREMONY

I’ve just finished packing my bags and I’m now going over the wedding information form and having a meeting with my assistant to talk about the details of the day.

4 HOURS BEFORE THE CEREMONY I leave the for the wedding site. The bride’s hair and makeup should be well underway to leave plenty of time for family and couple photos.

3.5 HOURS BEFORE THE CEREMONY I arrive at the preparation site to capture the finishing touches of hair and makeup and to document the bride getting into her wedding dress and the groomsmen making their final preparations.

We arrive at the reception site and immediately begin photographing candid shots of arriving guests and continue into cocktail reception. If there are any additional formal photographs desired we will take this time to finish them in plenty of time for the reception.

45 MINUTES AFTER THE CEREMONY We enter the dining room before the guests arrive to photograph the cake and floral decor. We also take this time to set up room lights and spotlights if we find they are needed. Right before the guests arrive we touch base with the catering manager or wedding coordinator to see if there were any last minute changes to the reception schedule.

1 HOUR AFTER THE CEREMONY

2.5 HOURS BEFORE THE CEREMONY We arrange for a “first meeting” (if meeting before the ceremony) for the bride and groom where they see each other before the ceremony. Immediately after this we begin formal photographs with the entire wedding party and the bride and groom’s immediate and extended families.

2 HOURS BEFORE THE CEREMONY The bride and groom’s portraits begin. We work in a variety of locations and capture a wide range of poses. About an hour before the ceremony we stop to allow you to freshen up, collect your things, and make it to the ceremony site on time.

30 MINUTES BEFORE THE CEREMONY I leave the preparations site to set out for the ceremony site. Here I coordinate with my assistant and set up any equipment we need during the ceremony. We take a last look around and find where the light is coming from to best document the ceremony. At this time you should have a quick refreshment and take 15 minutes of quiet time with just the two of you; you’ll want to regroup before all the excitement begins!

At this time we strictly document the reception candidly as it unfolds, including the first dances, toasts, dancing, and cake cutting. But don’t worry; we are always available for any photo request you may have throughout the evening. Just ask!

4 HOURS AFTER THE CEREMONY After you leave the reception we pack our equipment and prepare for our departure. But first, we may go outside for a night “time exposure” photograph of the both of you to showcase the beauty of your location at night.

Two weeks before your wedding we will touch base via phone or e-mail to discuss your wedding day photo timeline. At this time we will also provide you with our Complete Wedding Information form to fill out with all your wedding details including locations, family members, special wedding day events, vendors and much more. This information will ensure we are all on the same page for an unforgettable and stress-free event!

L ove is in the details W H AT A M A Z I N G A C C O U T R E M E N T S G O I N TO T H E M O S T D E L I C I O U S DAY E V E R ?

So many things are special about your wedding day. While they may seem like small details, the unassuming pillow your ring bearer carried might have been made from your Christening gown. Or those shoes with the delicate pearl buttons may have been your mother’s. These are the smaller, sometimes unnoticed details that tell the story of your special day, that we document for you at LUPHOTO. Whether it’s your bouquet or your shoe or your something blue, it’s all a part of your distinct personality as a couple, sharing your yesterdays while you prepare for your many tomorrows.

P R E P A R E FA M I LY & F R I E N D S F O R T H E S T Y L E O F P H O T O G R A P H Y YOU HAVE CHOSEN

As you know, my style of photography is highly photojournalistic. This means that I will follow you throughout the day and shoot all the details and special moments as they happen.

I strive to be unobtrusive and invisible as much as possible. This way I get much more natural shots. Preparing your family and friends will help everyone to enjoy the day and will insure that I capture the best images of your day.

ENGAGEMENTS

considering an

Engagements are so engaging. Romance is in the air and the anticipation of a lifetime together comes to a crescendo in the rush during the weeks leading up to your wedding, causing you to wonder: Is an engagement shoot necessary? After all, your wedding pictures share the beginning of your life, right?

Shooting an engagement is important for several reasons. First, this time allows you to get comfortable in front of the camera with your photographer, figuring out how you work best together before the wedding.

Next, you can showcase your personalities in a more

casual setting, while creating some fun captures for wall portraits, your wedding sign-in book, sign-in board and Thank You cards (shot early enough, we can also provide the images for your Save the Date cards and invitations). Images also add another dimension to your wedding album, chronicling the story from engagement to your wedding day.

Best of all, you can remember this special time forever away from the throngs of loved ones and friends. This is your time together.

“

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud, it is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails...
