Skylar Lien Photo

Skylar Lien Photo is a wedding photography business operating out of Bessemer, AL. Hey, I'm Skylar! I am a wedding, micro-wedding, and elopement photographer with a unique background in professional athletics photography. With an innate love for storytelling, I made the decision to transition from capturing sports moments to immortalizing the beautiful and tender moments of love stories. Photography is a huge part of who I am, but before deciding to choose me as your wedding photographer, I want you to know me as a person. After all, I'll be with you for the biggest day of your life, so you may as well know that I'm not just a robot! I am a Celcius-fueled Gen-Z'er passionate about dogs, hiking, new experiences and perspectives, and antiquing. I've lived in Texas for pretty much my whole life, but I met a boy when I was in school studying creative media at UA, so I moved in with him when I graduated! Isn't that how it usually goes?! Ok, back to my photography: Drawing on 8+ years of photography experience and 5 years of professional training in photo editing and photography, I bring a wealth of expertise to every session and wedding. With my use of dynamic prompting, I can document the natural flow of moments and emphasize the unique interactions between you and your partner. My distinctive approach results in images that not only tell a story but exude the genuine connection shared between partners that will leave you saying, "Ah, this photo, so us!" My photography style is a blend of documentarian and editorial, creating a narrative that unfolds naturally while maintaining an artistic and editorial quality. My photos are further enhanced by my timeless and warm editing style, ensuring that the emotions and memories captured will withstand the test of time, transcending fleeting wedding trends. Hiring a photographer is arguably the most important part of your day: they have full control of the narrative that your wedding day will visually tell forever. Those who believe this claim are right; hiring a photographer is extremely important. There are so many varying approaches to wedding photography, but mine is simple: you live the best freakin' day of your life, and I'll be there documenting every little moment as it happens. Your love story is the narrative; you live it, I document it.
