This might be my favorite first dance shot ever. Taken in Jamaica while I was second shooting for my friend Sean, who coincidentally will be guest speaking at my upcoming workshop in Vancouver. For what it’s worth, this is all done in camera.

So true… That first image in stunning… can’t begin to replicate it outside of the moment that happens at the alter… and even if you could, the client would know that it would be fake.

Hooray for being up close! My answer to church rules is that “God loves love,” and that is what I am here to document. Would love to here any stealthy techniques you have. Powerful images.

Being up close is terrific. I never understand why they would make us photographers stand at the back…just pointless in my opinion. Great images!
