Why I Like This Picture – Amy and Spencer

Continuing in my Why I Like This Picture series is an image from Amy and Spencer’s wedding back in 2009 (wow, has it been that long already?!).  A Jewish wedding held in the Palm House at Franklin Park Conservatory, this picture was made during the signing of the Ketubah, which is the point when Jewish couples are actually married.

The reason I like this picture is that everyone is clearly visible and each has a story to tell – Spencer’s family on the left, as onlookers, his sister craning around to see the Ketubah, the Rabbi directing Spencer’s uncle where to sign, and Amy and Spencer looking dreamy in the background.  The entire frame is filled and the composition, to me, couldn’t be any more perfect, if you’re compulsive about symmetry and pattern like I am.

Why I Like This Picture – Annamaria and Chris

Fifth in my “why is this image on your website” series, this image is actually a blast from the past.  But, if you’ve been paying attention, you’ll know that emotion and expression never go out of style!  Which is precisely why it’s on my website and why it’s being featured here today.

This image was from Annamaria and Chris’ wedding in 2007 at St. Andrew and Brookside Country Club, and this photograph was made after Annamaria got ready but before the ceremony, when family was coming in to visit and give hugs.  In this picture you can just feel the love between Annamaria and her soon-to-be mother-in-law.

Why I Like This Picture – Sarah and Jared

Number four in my Why I Like This Picture – Website Edition is from Sarah and Jared‘s wedding.  Sarah is the cousin of the brother and sister whose weddings I also photographed, and all of which took place at Grove City United Methodist.  (I like to keep it in the family!)

I love this picture.  Look at the delight on the face of Jared’s mother after Sarah opened a card from Jared.  Have you seen a better expression?!  This picture tells the whole story, and emotion is king.
