Wedding photography season has begun. I was looking at my calendar yesterday, and I noticed that starting the last week of May, I have at least on wedding every week (usually more) until mid-November. I am so happy to have such a full calendar. Especially if all those weddings turnout to be as enjoyable as Kayly and Matt's celebration... and I fully expect they will be, because only cool people hire me.
Looking forward to 2008!
Kayly and her crack team of bridesmaids leave no detail overlooked. Does this remind you of the dressing scene in Cinderella?
The unity candle, I have photographed it hundreds of times, and it never gets old. This is one of the best parts of any ceremony because the bride and groom are facing the pews. And I think, the symbolism is lost on no one.
I like Catholic ceremonies, because the bride and groom willl generally have a seat during certain parts of the mass. The attention is directed at the priest, and the couple are more free to share a moment like this.
The funny thing about Kayly and Matt's ceremony, the priest never told them to kiss. They started to leave the altar, and realized that they had not kissed. They stopped, just at the top of the aisle, kissed, and then continued down the aisle. This is the moment just after the kiss, as they continued down the aisle. These are the moments that make every wedding unique.
I know, I know, a lot of you are thinking, but that image is blurry. Blur adds to the chaotic feeling of the moment and helps tell that aspect of the story. As always, it is a technique often used by the folks I look up to, VIIphoto.com.
I think that is a good place to leave it for now. If I have a chance before the next wedding, I hope to post more from Kayly and Matt's wedding, as the reception and portraits are also something to see.
