Many people who know me and have known my photography for years knows I can't pass up a reflection. Add in a funny mirror and I'll work it until I get the angle just right. Sometimes it happens--sometimes it doesn't. During a recent wedding this little mirror was being held up and I tried and tried to get a shot....nothing. Then I sorta got one but my focus was a little off. Then I finally got this picture of the flower girl as she was getting her hair done. These aren't the moments that you think about from a wedding, but they are the moments that you might not have taken notice of at first, but help you to remember that time...remember the pizza and bagels and watching the wedding singer and doing each others nails and sharing some laughs while you looked for something borrowed and something blue and got ready for the big day. We shot a lot of pictures before the wedding even started in hopes to capture the essence of the day for the bride and the groom---as well as everyone else involved. I look at these pictures as being great little asides that help set up the big moments that we too try our best to capture. Wedding photography should document more than control what goes on. Thats the type of wedding photographer I want to be. Photograph by Richard Sayer.
You are a fantastic photographer! My gran daughter sees herself as a photographer someday. She has an ability to capture a subject in a comfortable pose. Your pictures tell a story. Kids at Maplewood have asked her to take their senior pictures. Keep up your good work!
