Picture this

In an earlier post, I talked about the misconception that wedding photojournalists won’t or can’t do the formal group shots. I’ve also heard claims that we can’t do formal portraits, such as the posed bride and groom shots. Well, wrong again…I love doing portraits!

The challenge for me is to reflect the subject’s personality in the frame. I really enjoy my portrait work – it allows me to be creative in a very different way from the documentary stuff, and it really adds depth to a wedding album. Here are a few of my favourites – wedding and non-wedding.
