Second Shooting








In May, I had the pleasure of second shooting a wedding at the Historic Barr Mansion with the very talented Katie Hayes Luke. This was a beautiful outdoor wedding in the garden. For me, photographing a wedding is all about the real, unposed moments. Some people would refer to this approach as style. Photojournalistic images are not a style I've tried to hone, but who I am as a photographer.  My background in photography is rooted in the newspaper tradition where images cannot be posed or manipulated.  Wedding photojournalism is a wonderful opportunity to put to good use all of the creative story telling techniques I've learned from working day in and day out on news photography.
