WEDDINGS//

I like to go to weddings.  I do.  This is by no means one of those posts that is intended to make wives go home and say to their husbands, “PJ likes weddings.  Why can’t you?”  Inevitably, I would get in trouble if this happened.  So, I’ll leave it at this… I like weddings.  I like stories.  I like happy endings and new beginnings.  That’s what weddings are to me.  Plus, there’s usually free food… and what kind of Christian would I be if I passed up free food.

I number of years ago I worked as an assistant photographer at a studio in Noblesville.  I loved it!  I loved the shoots, I loved meeting new people everyday, but most of all I LOVED the editing.  Evoking a mood or telling a story in a single photo.  So, most of the time I worked there was in the dark room or in front of Photoshop editing, printing, testing, starting over, editing, printing… etc. until I got it right.  Probably not very cost effective for the studio owner, but nonetheless the photos were right.

This morning I finished editing some photos from a wedding I shot a few weeks back.  It was a unique wedding for sure, but did they have fun at the reception.



And, I love kids at weddings.  Music starts and they go nuts.  There’s always one… if not more.


But, I think of all 436 shots the couple is getting.  This one may be my favorite.


You can almost feel her little mind planning her own wedding.  Almost like she’s already pining for it.

What do you think about weddings?
