The Way He Looks at Her- Confessions of a Wedding Photographer

It’s no secret that I’m a fool for weddings. And we also know that as much as we would like it to, a wedding day is not necessarily a slow day…it’s a day filled with activities and high intensity moments. A day when love is declared publicly. My job is capture that love. And trust me, I look for it….

What’s interesting about being followed around by a photographer looking to capture how you feel is that, later, when you get the photos, you get to see all the emotions of that day as well. You get to notice the love in someone’s eyes as they looked at you. You also get to see your own face as you received that love…

I have had clients tell me later, after seeing their photos, that they could finally see how loved they are, how connected their family is or how special they are to their parents.

For example, you’ll see photos below from Sara and Trevor’s wedding. The way he looks at her in so many of the photos warms my heart. The way her father looks at her…there is so much pride, joy, celebration in his face…This is what I love about wedding photography…those things that we can’t usually prove except through actions, become visible in pictures…
