Wedding Photographs Explained

Wedding Photos Explained, A Sisters Proud Moment

During a Wedding Photographers dirties on the day, you’ll see lots relationships form.   I am not talking about brother sister relationships, those are a given, but the ones that are special, like my youngest sister and myself have a special bond.   This was what I spotted at this one wedding early on, and I just knew that moment would show itself for a killer moment, a shot that would be a moment carved into time that I could slice out and capture.  These are the moments that I live for, I work for and shoot for.

So earlier I had seen this when the groom had gotten off the boat with the groomsmen and the and the bridesmaid had come up to him, she tucked herself between him and another groomsman and wrapped her arm around him and the way she was with him, it was plain and simple to see she was his sister, she was so proud of him, maybe it’s just a brother that would know this.   I knew at this moment from this photo I would get a moment later at some point and she also confirmed saying, I am so proud of you, and looked at me as said, he’s my brother!

Here is that shot.

So I knew that moment was going to come, it was just a matter of time. So long after the ceremony and well into the introductions the time came, he had his back to me and she walked up to him and I caught this moment of her wrapping her arms around him so proud and the look on her face says it all. 

A priceless moment sliced out of time.

A Grooms Surprise, This Weeks Series from Charlotte Wedding Photographers

The image for today is a special one, but for this one I was given the heads up by the groom Brian.  Brian never told me what it was he had done, he just said be ready for the shot when it happens, he said to wait for him to take the jacket off and watch for jessica's face and reaction during the first dance, here are a couple of shots.

Jessica was totally Surprised to say the least

I got into position to back light them with the curtain behind them as that set them off so nice.  I then just waited for that moment as he went to go take his jacket and lay it down, this was the image after he took it off and she had seen what was on the waste coat.

This image will be the first captured image that I will be unraveling the story on how it captured it, I think this series will be loved by many as you will get a glimpse into the stories of these images and know a little more about them and why I love them and the Wedding Photography business so much

I had just finished the wedding ceremony in the church and I had been watching these girls in the front seats they were busy playing so quietly, I just knew it was a matter of time before I would get some great shots of them during the day.  We proceed outside for the formal shots and girls being little girls were late but we did not need them at this time till later.

As we were waiting on some of the other people to arrive I had noticed the four girls coming up out of the corner of my eye got my camera ready for them, the group shot was not ready yet and they were still waiting on several others so I had time for this shot to line up with the kids. I did not turn to take it yet as they kids were still walking to the tree and would have noticed me, but the light was so perfect I caught one backlight shot really quick just in case that was all I could get, and then low and behold they stopped right by the tree and this image just unfolded right before my eyes as they started to play with something on the ground, and I caught it.  Moments later I got the group shots and finished the formals and we all drove on to the final place for the reception but I knew the shot I got was an awesome one.

All in a day’s work and this has always been one of my favorite shots of all.
