A new blog feature here at JSP the moments to remember. Each week I will select an image from my archives and feature it on the blog. I’ll then explain my thought process as I recorded the moment. My hope is to share how much thought and preparation goes into each image from your wedding and why I love what I do.
Kids are a joy to photograph but usually they become “hams” for the camera and I don’t like fake smiles and overly posed photos so finding them when they are being themselves and don’t know you are taking their photo is a treat. This first moment to remember was taken during Colleen and Dan’s wedding. All the girls were in the back room of St. Joseph’s church while Colleen prepared for her ceremony. In the bride’s dressing room there is typically a wonderful window and I will position myself with the window behind me to let the soft window light fill the room and light the people naturally. I chose this particular spot to take advantage of the mirror behind my bride. Colleen had just finished dressing and was handed her bouquet. While everyone was complimenting her on how beautiful she looked the little flower girl moved into this perfect place to admire Colleen. You can just see the wedding dreams starting to form in her face as Colleen turned to look at her. This photo is an especially special memory for Colleen as the little flower girl is Dan’s little sister – her new sister in law.
