Who Says Grooms Can’t Carry Wedding Bouquets?Friday, January 22nd, 2010

Ok, ok, this groom is being quite the gentleman and is holding his new bride’s wedding bouquet. I had to take the photograph because I thought it looked hilarious – and the groom played along perfectly. Candid moments like this are fun and make wedding photography unique and quirky.

Why don't more grooms have bouquets?

And some people have argued that wedding bouquets are pointless and just get in the way. You spend more time putting the bouquet some where and having someone hold it for you – but I think they are a critical part of any wedding. And for photography it gives you hands something to hold – it is the perfect prop for any photograph.

Dang flowers get in the way of a cake cuttingTuesday, January 19th, 2010

This photo could be perfect – the bride and groom are cutting the cake – you see their faces – you don’t see the knife… The darn flowers are in the way. I was second shooting at this La Caille wedding – and hopefully the primary photographer had another angle without flowers. The important part is to get the bride and groom’s faces.

What I should have done was to move the flowers off the table before the cake cutting began but I still like this photograph. Not every photograph comes out perfect – but hopefully most photos capture a story.

And the bride isn’t wearing a wedding ring – I zoomed in and didn’t see one. Maybe the main photographer had borrowed the rings for the ring photography.

Photographers can drive themselves nuts looking at the little details. Sometimes while looking at the little detail you miss the big picture.

Hiding Wedding Rings Among the FlowersFriday, December 18th, 2009

It has been a little while since I have featured wedding rings on the wedding blog – and I have been looking for some macro accessories for my camera equipment – so what better moment than this evening? Especially on a Friday – when I should be out and about having a fun time watching movies? So instead here is a photograph of wedding rings I photographed at a wedding hosted at Rose Sachs outside of Salt Lake City.

I photograph details like the wedding rings with my macro lens – there really is no other way to properly photograph wedding rings. You want to get close and then get closer. You can only do that with a macro lens (maybe if you use a bellows or double up on lenses).

And to photograph this close with a macro lens you have to master off camera flash. I usually shoot through and umbrella – although I just picked up a small softbox that I will use a ton in the future. And I think I will always photograph the rings set on the flowers and florals.

Rose Wedding Bouquet – Don’t Put Your Camera AwayThursday, September 17th, 2009

The wedding bouquet was just laying there, ready to be photographed

The wedding bouquet was just laying there, ready to be photographed

As a wedding photographer I don’t put the camera away until I am in my car. You don’t want to miss a shot. You never know what you might encounter on the way to the car.

As the wedding ends people are still in a celebration mood. Or in the case of the bouquet it has been placed there by the bride and I just dropped to one knee and took a quick photograph. I bounched the light on the wall to the left of the camera and BAM! cool photo!

So don’t assume the photographs are over as soon as the wedding is over.

Tulips for a WeddingWednesday, July 29th, 2009

Tulips, a bride, a groom and a kiss

Tulips, a bride, a groom and a kiss

Just wanted to share a cool wedding photograph I took last year – this one has the flowers in focus and the bride and groom are in the background – I love looking for the different photograph.

Seasons of the year play such a huge factor in a wedding. Not a lot of flowers in winter – yet you have the opportunity for some cool winter photographs. Spring brings tulips and daffodils. Summer has roses and most other flowers. It truly helps to make each wedding a unique experience on when you make your vows and celebrate your love.
