It's Friday! I'm savoring my last weekend off before the Fall season picks up and today I wanted to share a little bit about why Lydia at times looks at me like I'm crazy and I assure her I'm not.
Often times we walk into beautiful reception venues and while shooting the details we work our way over to the cake table and many times while it's in a beautiful location- that location isn't the absolute greatest for a gorgeous picture.
This is just one example below of when I said, "Hey Lydia come give me a hand..." and we carefully held our breathe used all our strength and repositioned the cake table. Maybe we're crazy and yes sometimes it's a risk but instead of this picture...

So truth be told we really only moved the cake. It's just a matter of seeing things differently, seeing the details and working to create the absolute best image I possibly can.

Let me know your thoughts... what image you prefer and if you'd like to see more "behind the scenes" pictures are stories by leaving your comments below!
very interesting! I actually love both images, because in the first one, looks like y’all are overlooking the ocean, which is really beautiful, but also love the other perspective! in my photography, I’ve learned to be very very conscious of the background in my photos….it’s definitely something I’m still learning :) love all of your work, you are such an inspiration!
When you moved the cake it became the star of the picture, elegant, rich, perfect. It really stands out,… Before the cake faded into the wall and was almost a afterthought. great work as always.
this “after” shot is one of the reasons you were selected
for both candace’/seb and meggan/chuck’s wedding days. it is the details and perspective that make your photos unique and capture the feeling as well as the moment in visual pictures for us to treasure for years to come.
You entered our lives as wedding photographer.
you left as family.
