Favorite Ceremony Shot

Hey everyone. I hope you are all well. I wanted to get started early. I have a lot of things to get done on website. Also included is a dental appointment! Whoopie ! I wanted to let you know that I put new photos on flickr. http://www.flickr.com/photos/laymanphotography/

Im also posting one of my all time favorite photos. This photo is still one of my favorites of a ceremony. I love the leading line. Many times as a photographer at a wedding, we often find that after exchanging of the rings, a few shots of Mothers, the guests and the bridal party, we are mostly waiting on the kiss. I wanted to give the b/g something different and I was in the learning phase of my career. Basically where we are on the blog as far as basics and techniques. I can not recall, but at the time this is about the 4th or 5th wedding I photographed. I realized that my ceremony photos were suffering. I had more time to be creative. There was less time spent worrying about proper flash and exposure levels. I had become more comfortable and confident.
The pews in this shot were not empty, I simply leaned over next to a guests, softly said excuse me with a smile and what I was seeing I was able to capture! I love when things come together. Its ok to be what I call , professionally intrusive at a wedding. Everyone knows you are there to capture precious moments. I will not distract anyone if it causes turmoil.
