Almost everyone sneaks a look at the newly placed wedding ring. Either upon their own finger, or their partners. I love when I catch this moment as it represents the newness of that moment.

“the widespread desire for the precise freezing of action took hold in the era of ‘moving pictures'” and that it wasn’t until the 1920s that the ‘decisive moment’ came into vogue – “It was almost as if cinema, in colonizing the popular understanding of time, implied that life itself was made up of distinct slices and that still photography had the potential to seize and extract them.” - Campany
On wedding days it seems to flux between lightspeed, go go go....and bouts of stillness and waiting. Here, the father of the groom was peacefully awaiting to be called to walk down the isle for the ceremony, and I felt that this image could have been captured at almost any point in history. He just fit the space. Historic and timeless.
Weddings are filled with loads of laughter. I love the thought of being reminded by wedding images of just sitting with a close friend and laughing together.
I loved the connection these two had on the dance floor. Completely in the their own universe amongst all of their friends and family during a slow song.
I felt like this was a soft bit of photographic poetry. Hopefully saying something different to each person, but also capturing the freedom of slipping off your shoes after the wedding ceremony and giving hugs to the bride and groom as everyone gathers.
