Why I Like This Picture – Katie and Travis

Talk about symmetry and pattern!  In this image, number seven on the website and in Why I Like This Picture, we have Katie and a couple of her bridesmaids enjoying some hamburgers prior to the wedding ceremony.  What makes this picture, for me, is that each girl is doing the same thing, but at a different stage, and in order if you read from right to left – about to bite into, biting into, and the bite completely in mouth.  Seriously, this picture cracks me up, and I appreciate the trust clients give me to make funny images for them.

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.
