Wedding in the mountains






The wedding party lined up and the room was big and comfortably heated. The guests took their seats and the Bride started walking down the Isle in her strapless gown along side of her dad. As the bride and groom held hands and got ready for the officiant to start, two very large wooden doors slid open behind them revealing a breathtaking snowy mountain scene....yes it was subfreezing temperatures and snow was falling right outside but the couple was not phased and the rest of the wedding party didn't mind. The ceremony was beautiful and personal. The love that filled the air warmed everyone up as almost every woman and man in attendance shed tears of joy. For this couple I hope the road is long and beautiful as their journey started so beautifully.

Photo Tip: Photography is truly painting with light. I love silhouettes, but what I love even more is to catch highlights and slivers of light on the subject's form to give the photo three dimensionality and convey emotions very subtly.

The big day





Brides are so beautiful. Weddings are such happy occasions. On that big day every one looks their best and every one has amazing dreams and hopes for a happy future. On a day such as this it's only fitting to have all your friends and family be a part of it. A witness to your commitment to a better future. It's like a contract you make with yourself and your partner to forever uphold what is right and what is fair with love and honesty. The beginning of something beautiful. The romance, the honesty, the love, the sweet smell of "forever" in the air...it's the stuff that makes great images.

Photo Tip: Beauty of digital photography is that you can sometimes ignore the bad lighting conditions and not so pleasing back grounds or other inconveniences...you can always fix them post capture... I know first hand in these wedding photos that I shot at 3200 ISO - Concentrate on the moment that is unfolding in front of you.
