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.

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.

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.
