Over the years, my photography style has changed quite a bit. The one aspect that has remained constant is that I still love shooting close up photos. I have always felt that certain aspects of love and intimacy can only be captured close up. When you are close, you get to see the love in the bride’s eyes by the way she looks at her new husband; you see how much he loves her by how tightly he pulls her in. The emotional aspect isn’t hard to capture, however the technical aspects make it difficult. When you’re shooting that close, you generally want to isolate the emotion you’re trying to pull out. The problem is, at wide open apertures, you tend to not get everything in focus. What makes it even harder is that you don’t have much time to think. One you see the shot, you have to capture it, otherwise the moment is gone. This has always been a challenge for me, and throughout my experiences I’ve gotten better at this and I hope that I’ll continue improving.
I just loved the back lighting in this ceremony venue. It gave me many good shot opportunities!
Next to the venue was a nice empty parking lot. I thought I’d do a boy band type shot for the groomsmen.
The color of this wall was amazing too!
This is probably my favorite shot.
Why have champagne when you can have 40 ounce malt liquor at your wedding?
He really knew how to dance!
It’s great when everyone’s having a good time. The photos always turn out so cool :).
There was definitely a lot of love at that wedding.
