One of my guilty pleasures as a photographer is reviewing images I’ve recently created in the quiet of my studio. With weddings, I typically do that over a mocha latté either late at night or very early in the morning. Why is it a guilty pleasure, you ask? Because I relive the wedding celebration before the newlyweds and their guests do. Weddings are very intimate affairs. Being responsible for capturing everlasting moments of such an important day for my clients is something that I take seriously, even though I make the process a lot of fun. As I start editing pictures I begin to interpret and enhance images right away.
The following images are a couple of favourites from a recent wedding. There is so much story!
The above image captures every one experiencing their own moment. The three people on the right (a best man, and two bridesmaids) are in thought while they walk as part of a large group. To the left is the bride chatting with her sister while she makes her way through grass after a rain shower. And, the other groomsman at front left is truly enjoying himself as he kicks up his feet and smiles to himself. The sunshine flaring through the top of the frame illuminates the scene while creating a beautiful backlight. And, just visible over the right shoulder of the best man is one of the flower girls.
The church pictured above is filled with many beautiful angles which makes it very unique. It’s lit entirely with carefully placed spotlights that create narrow streams of light against a variety of shadows and dark surfaces. The ceiling at its centre was quite high, and framing a shot of the interior without drawing attention to myself during the ceremony was challenging. At the bottom left of the frame are the bride and groom, intently listening to the sermon, whom I never let leave the corner of my eye.
The studio has been very busy this summer with some very cool projects, including a 45 year old photo restoration. That’s coming up in a future post.
Until next time.
