Elizabeth Austin-Davis shoots mostly film at her weddings, which are largely that of underrepresented communities of color and mixed cultures, she says. “I showcase their love on film in a luxury approach.” Her style is more traditional and editorial. She poses people intentionally, always looking for the good light. “I love full-body shots that show the environment and the grain of my film,” she says. Austin-Davis will overexpose her film “to pull more cool tones” from her film, exposing for the shadows and having her lab scan for the highlights.
