First Kiss at the Pfister Hotel

First Kiss at the Pfister Hotel

One of my favorite moments to photograph during a wedding ceremony is the First Kiss. Usually by this point in the proceedings I've been around the bridal couple for hours. I watch them as they nervously anticipate this moment. They may not be actively thinking about that first kiss but it's when I usually see a lot tension released as the big moment happens. After all the planning, and then negotiating all the little things that can make a wedding day fly by they have this clear moment in time. They've done it!

A Mother's Tears of Joy

A Mother's Tears of Joy

The mother mother of the bride reacts as they repair her clothing. It had torn in all the hugging after having seen the Bride in her gown for the first time. This is a perfect example of the moments I try to capture. The personal interplay of emotions during a wedding can be so powerful. While I admit there are times that photos do need some good staging generally there are so many emotions flying around, especially in close knit families, all I need do is be present in the moment. Honestly, there's nothing more rewarding than being trusted to photograph these intimate moments.
