Uplighting

Uplighting For Wedding Lighting

Uplighting is the placement of individual light sources at the base of architectural details, landscaping, and points of interest, typically around the perimeter of a space, to draw attention to those details. It gives a sense of depth and background to your photos and videography and allows you to turn down the house lights, which are often harsh fluorescents. Create a flattering amber hue, add drama, elegance, and direct guests to the bar or photo booth with beautiful uplighting. If you’re in the right venue, you can really highlight the unique architectural details of your space. For an outdoor wedding, we look for trees, bushes, and sides of buildings to uplight, so the light can bounce back into the space. This gives guests reference points and set boundaries for an area so they can more smoothly navigate their way around.
