I try to define my work by capturing amazing moments and memories throughout a wedding day. On Saturday there was one of those moments that seemed to move in slow motion. As the bride, Andrea, was processing with her father to meet the groom, Shaun, the flower girl shot her the thumbs up! Now, it wasn’t luck at all that helped me get the shot.
What got me the shot was watching everyone from the time I started photographing Andrea and the girls two hours before the ceremony. The first think I noticed when walking into Andrea’s room was the flower girl watching, in awe, as Andrea was getting ready. The look on her face continued as the day progressed. She was clearly enthralled with how beautiful Andrea looked in her wedding dress.
So, of course, I was watching that little flower girl all day, waiting for THAT moment, and in a span of about a second and a half, it happened. I grabbed my camera, and got this…
No, it isn’t perfect, photographically speaking, and I’d change a thing or two if I could time travel. But, sometimes, the moment is the most important thing and a flaw or two can be excused for the sake of a neat moment!
