Seven inspiring wedding & lifestyle photographer’s blogs

Glad to see that you found my first list of inspiring blogs useful. As a designer I always find looking at blog designs inspiring, and where better than a photographer’s blog? All those gorgeous images to drool over! So here’s my top seven.

Matt Pereira, of course, how could I not put Matt’s beautifully designed and photographed blog in my list? The wide column shows off the shots perfectly. And I love the textures and tones in the background that seem to complement his work so well.

Jasmine Star‘s Vogue-esque blog is out of this world isn’t it? It’s a certain style of design and it won’t appeal to everyone, but it’s utterly stunning and incredibly well crafted. And so different to a lot of blogs that you see. From a colour psychology perspective this is a winter design: strong in terms of colour and layout, sleek and very upmarket.

I love up and coming photographer Kate Griffin’s blog for it’s beautiful images and also it’s sheer personality. I love the way she intertwines her images with stories, and the fact that she has her big and bold signature at the end of every post. And just read the story on the bluebell shoot, it makes my heart melt.

I love SegeriusBruce‘s brochure style blog – evocative “front pages” that take you through to the meat of the post. Obviously their style is also fabulous, as are the way the posts are written. Gorgeous.

Ben Chrisman‘s blog is very cool and very different. Bravely letting the images speak for themselves (and to be fair, they do speak for themselves. As one of the USA’s top 10 photographers he knows his stuff) this pared back and confident blog draws you in through the seduction of the photography.

Quirky, bold and colourful sums up Sarah Yates‘ blog. I’d love to get my hands on the typography, but the images are just so stunning that I had to include it in the list. And the personality really shines through.

Obviously photographer’s blogs are ten a penny, but the ones that made the grade were the ones that stood out. I was looking for blogs that were well branded and had presented their images well. Call me picky but I like portrait images to be side-by-side so that they take up the same width as a landscape image and keep a nice clean line as you travel down the page. Small things but they matter to me…

So how about you? What are your favourite wedding and lifestyle photographer blogs?

And last but not least, this deliciously bright and well branded blog by Daria and Andy. What lovely colours and such a psychadelic backdrop. I love it!
