Over the course of my 30 year career, I\u2019ve been fortunate enough to have made a few images that perhaps some people may remember- maybe even a few images that leave an impression. Now, as a wedding photographer, I\u2019m certainly not going to kid myself and believe that wedding photographs make a \u201creal\u201d difference in the world. I\u2019m not delusional, and I realize the context in which my images are placed. That said, I do hope, and believe that some of my images can make a lasting impression on my clients, and even some others who appreciate the craft. That, in my opinion, is one of the more important elements of what I do. <\/p>\n
These images can be made anywhere, and anytime. They\u2019re generally not contrived, and they\u2019re unexpected. Sometimes, images that make a lasting impression are produced under some of the most adverse conditions, such as the image of the week below. This image is now 9 years old, and was produced on a horrible, rainy day. I absolutely adored my clients- Lori and Ron, and they were getting married at the Crystal Tea Room<\/a> in Philadelphia. I was really upset that we had torrential rain, and I was concerned that I wouldn\u2019t produce anything special for them because of the weather. During a very small window of opportunity, we ventured outside. It was still drizzling, but it was tolerable. Lori was hellbent on fighting the elements, and her efforts inspired me. The streets were still completely flooded, and while we were tip toeing around the mess, I noticed the reflection in the street. <\/p>\n
