This weekend was wonderful... had three weddings and each one of them so different. Oh there are many things the same, there are flowers, beautiful gowns and of course cake, but what sets them all apart from each other is energy.

One wedding was small, with an emphasis on their connection to their church. The next was larger, in a romantic setting and there was an intimate quiet to the day. The last wedding was the largest of the three, with a focus on the total joy of friends and family being together.

When photographing such diverse weddings it is so important that I am sensitive to the feel of the couple. In creating their photos I never push, I do not want them to feel manipulated into poses and expressions that are not authentic. I believe in guiding them to the right moment. To set up trust and let them know that their well being is as important to me as getting the right moment. If a couple gets tired I want them to take a break, yes I know every thing is on a tight deadline (and I have not missed one!), but if you are tired it shows, and this is your wedding day. To enjoy each moment is what it is all about.

So what is your energy? Will it be romantic; will you wear your heart on your sleeve? Will you be shyer, maybe a little quiet? Will your energy be big, boisterous with unabashed emotion? Whatever your emotion... let it show... and have fun. You do that and I promise you, your photos will sing.
