Julia and Herold had a small intimate wedding and I was so happy to get to be a part of it. Small weddings are my favorite. I love photographing the connection between friends and family. I may have a rule to “photograph everything you’ve spent money on” but my focus will always be on the people.
First of all, this is one of the most beautiful churches I’ve ever seen. I was blessed with the good light that day and had to take at least one epic shot of the outside—while still keeping it candid because…of course, I did :P Then I went inside and met up with Kaitlyn who was getting ready for photos and a first look.
I try to put myself in my client’s shoes and take photos that I know I would want if I were them. The Bride was getting married and her late grandfather, a former pastor, was a very important person in her life, so I took the rings for a few detail photos that would incorporate those elements into the scene.
This is where the magic happens. When the formalities are over and the lights turn down. Its time to let loose and have FUN! These are always my favorite photos of the night :D
Okay, technically, the Titus-Cox wedding was way “up” in Kokomo from where I live but I couldn’t resist a beach boys reference in the title. This was another toasty summer wedding so luckily, their ceremony and reception was indoors, but we still jumped outside into the greenery for our formal photos. As you might have noticed from looking through my photos, I like color. I like normal skin tones and real greens. So if my clients are up for going outside we will always opt for that :P
