Creating a Picture

Photography is not just taking pictures to us. It’s a passion of making pieces of art. It’s extremely important to us. We are filled with excitement the day of a wedding. Watching and looking for the moments that are so dear to your family. Pictures that can tell a story of who you are in this very day and how those who came before you created that path for you.

This image is extremely important to me. Here is Matt, our Groom from last week’s wedding, and his mother. Matt and Katie were married at the Fernbank Museum. For those of you who have never been there, there are three levels of exhibits and dinosaurs. It’s an amazing venue. Matt’s family is from California and came in for the wedding. They all seemed to have been taking lessons for dancing and the groom and his mother were anxiously practicing before the ceremony on the second level. They were inside a small entrance to an exhibit. I happened upon it and thought “oh, I have to capture this moment.” Then I saw the words in the background. I knew I had to incorporate it some how. I wanted them to the left. They were dancing all over the place and backs to me most of the time. I just kept waiting and finally the moment came and I saw the shot that I was wanting. I love how they are “walking” or “dancing,” through this moment in the timeline of their family in Georgia. It was perfect.

This is what brings us alive, making pieces of art for our clients.
