Photo Essay

2008-06-19T18:44:00.001-07:00

This weekend, my friend of many years and I are off on a road trip to a wedding in Iowa. On our trip, I captured some special moments of our friendship as well as making a photo essay on the wedding story. This particular essay wasn’t the typical bride and groom at the altar but more of the intimate moments of the couple with their friends and family.
Some of my pictures were a bit blurry so I couldn’t include them in the essay. The ones I chose to include represent those moments that I considered the most memorable. The two people who were married chose a beautiful reception setting that allowed for some romantic shots that are part of my essay.

Photographing people without a particular pose makes the essay read more like a story. Sequencing the pictures just right allows the viewer to create the captions without ever reading the ones posted. Love is not just a feeling to be captured on film. It is a sense in the air that can permeate through a crowd almost as fast as a wildfire in a forest. To be able to experience Nick and Shanna’s mutual respect and love was a very moving experience. The road trip was tedious but the time spent with friends was rewarding.

This is my niece Jenna. I thought this was a great photo of someone I knew. I gave her my sunglasses and she took them and put them on and I got a chance to snap a shot. You can tell by the way I took the photo that she is a very happy baby. I just love it!

Life at the Park

This photo just reminds me of my wonderful childhood that I had. I picked this photo because when I took it just looks like a photo you would see in an album of your childhood. Yet you dont see this in a park anymore I thought of taking it anyway because i know back in the days you would see childering having a wonderful time in the sandbox. I love it

Light

This picture was taken at the park by my house. I took the picture as the sun was coming to a set. I loved how the sun was bouncing off. That is the one thing about light in photographs is how it can bounce off things and look so beautiful like this picture. The bouncing off objects is one of my favorite things.
