We use the word ‘moments’ a lot, because at its essence, that’s what photography is about. When Joseph Niépce created the first photograph in 1826, it was done to capture an instance of a scene in time. For all intents and purposes, it was a way to create permanence out of something that was ever changing and fleeting. Photography has come a long way, but I believe the purpose is still the same.

Some days are arguably more important than others. So much happens on wedding day and it goes by in a flash. My experience and that of my team is honed towards being aware of what’s happening and knowing just when to push down on the shutter button to freeze a moment. We do this while paying attention to light and composition so that not only to do capture that moment, we do it with style and in a way that appeals. These some of my favorite blink-and-you-miss-it moments that simply couldn’t have been planned for beforehand.

At the end of the day, these are our favorite types of photographs from a wedding. The portraits are creative and beautiful, but there’s something about the challenge and chase of capturing these fleeting moments that keeps us on our feet and excited about photography. When years pass, I think a handful of these types of photographs are the ones that will bring back the fondest memories for our clients.
