Closing shot

Image by Karl Maasdam

Every wedding I shoot the couple gets a slideshow as part of their package. This is my favorite part of what I give them.

It is my telling of the story from there wedding day. My stories are non-fiction.

Except for portraits I don’t set up photos at a wedding. I am a true believer in “real people doing real things”. Oops I am rambling.

I always need a great closing shot to end the story, and they are not always easy to come by. Brian and Hilary’s wedding the last dance of the evening and them touching foreheads with the wonderful light from the DeeJay made for a great closing.
