Image 3 from my website is from Michelle and Mike’s wedding at Immaculate Conception/Columbus Athenaeum. I like this picture because of the lines leading to Michelle; the graphic nature of the balusters, along with the lines of the stairs, all softened by the flow of Michelle’s dress and her fluffy flowers – it’s a recipe for deliciousness. This picture takes up a whole two-page spread in a sample album I show clients from their wedding and it always gets lots of compliments.
During their wedding, we had enough downtime to hang out at their house and have a nice, relaxed portrait session. The three of us headed upstairs to their bedroom, and as soon as I reached the top of the stairs I knew I had to somehow incorporate them into a picture. I didn’t end up doing anything posed with it, though; I simply stayed upstairs while Michelle made her way downstairs after our portraits and waited until she was in the perfect position.
