It’s a privilege when your good friends calls you and ask you to photograph a wedding of his best friends. The reason why it’s an honor is because they know you can do a good job. That also means they have very high expectations and I need to get all my creative juices going to get some amazing shots.
Luckily Larisa and Alex were fun and so easy going. I haven’t met them before but we kicked it off right away. We spent 2 hours in and around the City Hall taking variety of images. From group photos, to serious, to dancing to fun, to goofy at times. And then we ended up with some champagne shots outside of the City Hall.
I ran into them a month later after my friend’s party. Larisa came to me and gave me a big hug saying how much she loved the photos. To me that means everything. With the camera at hand, you’re allowed to enter people’s most important moments in their lives. It also allows you to be creative, photograph something that wasn’t done before but also to capture the magic of the day as is unfolds.
