Military wedding with kids & a Great Dane

ringbearers-002Compiling this set of images from second shooting for my friend Angie (Simpli Photography) made me realize the common thread that I want seen in my work is depth. I think the ‘imperfections’ (the boy slouching or the one refusing to smile, the graininess of the film) and the ‘humanity’ (girls teasing boys, being a curious kid, wanting to twirl in your fluffy dress) in images are the very elements that make the image more than just a picture.
Beautiful light and composition – yes, but images that also have soul and feeling. In my favorite images I’ve ever shot, I can see it. I hope you can see hints of that depth in these…ringbearers-005ringbearers-006ringbearers-013ringbearers-015ringbearers-012ringbearers-003ringbearers-004ringbearers-008ringbearers-010ringbearers-009ringbearers-007ringbearers-011ringbearers-017ringbearers-016
