Why Astro?

Wedding photography landing pages are almost entirely content — beautiful images, testimonials, service descriptions, and a few CTAs. They don't need a heavy client-side framework. Astro's island architecture ships zero JavaScript by default, meaning the page loads fast and renders immediately. For a site where the first impression is everything, that matters. Astro also encourages a component-based structure without the overhead of React or Vue, making it a clean and productive choice for static, content-heavy sites like this one.

Design Decisions

The entire site uses a dark-mode aesthetic — deep near-black backgrounds, off-white text, and no saturated accent colors. This lets the photography take center stage without the UI competing for attention. It also gives the brand a premium, editorial feel that matches the wedding photography niche. Typography is used aggressively as a design element. The statement section uses selective bold and italic styling to create visual rhythm in a block of text — a technique borrowed from editorial design that makes plain copy feel intentional and crafted. The layout alternates between full-width moments (hero, gallery) and contained content sections, creating a breathing rhythm as the user scrolls down the page.
