HOW TO CREATE A MOODBOARD

Creating personalized photography and cinematography requires that we understand your personalities, your preferences, your hobbies, and your relationship. To help us get to know you, we need you to create a “mood board.”

So what is a Moodboard?

A mood board is simply an idea or inspiration board on which couples display their favorite images. Couples add images and videos to their mood board to visually communicate aspects of their style preferences.

For example, you might love the angle or composition, a specific pose, the type lighting, the style of post production or any other component of the photograph or video highlight. Your board allows our entire team, from the photographers and cinematographers all the way to the post producers, album designers, and video editors to get on the same page and clearly understand your preferences.

Moodboard vs Shot List

A Moodboard is NOT a “shot list.”  A “shot list” is a detailed list of must-have shots for the photographer to follow and check off throughout the wedding day.  This type of checklist is discouraged, as it inhibits a photographer’s creativity and focuses his or her attention on duplicating and recreating, rather than innovating and originating.

How to Create a Moodboard for Photography

  1. Create a Pinterest account (or sign into your existing account)

  2. Create a Board called “Engagement/Wedding Mood Board” (Be sure to leave it as public)

  3. Visit the The Haus of Grey Pinterest and our Blog and “Pin” between 15-20 images that you like, making sure you add a detailed description under the image of why you like the image. The majority of your images should come from The Haus of Grey work.

  4. Add in a few more images that you like from around the web (along with descriptive captions).

  5. Once complete, send the Mood board URL to our studio manager (Send to doriengray1@gmail.com)

  6. After reviewing the mood board, we will set up a conference call / zoom chat with you and to review the mood board together and to review the details of the event.

 
Characteristics of an Ideal Mood board

Here are a few characteristics of an ideal Mood board:

  • It does not have too many images (20-30 is just fine)

  • It is NOT a shot List

  • It has detailed descriptions

  • It includes shots from your wedding venue or similar wedding venues
