Why I Like This Picture – Caryn and Judd

There’s nothing I like more than watching people when they don’t think I’m watching.  Considering I’m mostly in these types of situations with an obvious camera around my neck and up to my face, it’s amazing to me that people are so willing to let their guard down in front of me.  And, for that, I am eternally grateful.  It must be my ability to blend into the background, which I guess could be good and bad.

This picture was made at Caryn and Judd’s Detroit wedding at the Detroit Zoo.  We were hanging out in the holding room, waiting for the ceremony to start.  To me, these expressions and the implications are priceless.  Two girls chatting, and one giving a sidelong glance in their direction.  You can’t make this stuff up.  This is my favorite part of this job – when people are just being people.  And ignoring me.

Why I Like This Picture – Jenna and Kyle

In case you’re wondering, I shot the wedding of the woman with her hand down the front of Jenna’s dress.  She is Talia, Jenna’s sister.  Needless to say, I love when I’m passed around a family and get to see everyone again on yet another special occasion, this time at The Lakes Golf and Country Club.

I think it’s pretty obvious why I would like this picture – what’s happening is funny and Jenna’s expression is hilarious.  It has good composition too with the smiling faces of Jenna’s mom and sister-in-law clearly visible as well.  This one is a winner, for sure.
