Moments. The hidden gems we as photographers attempt to find at each and every wedding. Moments are what motivate me to continue to shoot as many weddings as I do per year. Now, I’m a big fan of the lovely image of a beautiful bride with her veil drenched in the late afternoon backlight. However, these are moments that I create. I prompt and control the situation in order to produce that portraiture. I will always enjoy that. However, to me, nothing beats the challenge of the found moment. They’re not my moments, they’re my client’s moments. Intimate split seconds in time, captured for future generations. I still, after 29 years of shooting, and 13 years of shooting weddings, enjoy this aspect as much as ever.<\/p>\n

Here, captured a few weeks ago at Knowlton Mansion<\/a> in Philadelphia, a mother and grandmother of the bride share a moment while the bride and her sister look on from the doorway. I truly have no idea what their conversation was about. It’s not my business to know. It’s my business to capture it, and work that moment until I feel I’ve documented the decisive moment from that situation. It’s about anticipation, and reaction. If we can’t anticipate something, we’d better be able to react. Now, it doesn’t hurt that there’s some great light on mom! But grandmom is precious. I hope they like it!<\/p>\n
