“I was watching you work during the ceremony…” started the conversation one of the guests during a cocktail hour of a recent wedding “…you looked cool in all your poses and when you were sneaking behind them, like a ninja or something !”. I started laughing. “I wonder how the photos will turn out !” they continued. “Oh, they will be cool, too - I assure you” I replied and went on to photograph people having drinks and hanging out while hunting for hors d’ orderves. So how do we look to wedding guests and couples on their most important day when we are at work ? We of course dress for the occassion while trying to feel comfortable and ‘lightweight’. With all the equipment on us it is extremely important to stay as flexible as you can. So let’s start with taking a look at our own Zlatko Batistich, enjoying a family formals shoot outdoors, surrounded by relatives, all having good time:
Here’s George Weir, working hard during a reception:
Josh Lynn trying to find enough space inside a limousine to get a shot of this pretty couple:
Some of us like taking more aggresive looking poses, Monika Broz ‘tackling the dress’ in 100F Virginia heat:
…and one of the resulting images:
Because we very often work as a team I think I sometimes try to be like her:
…but the results are worth fighting for:
Getting a good image sometimes really gives us wings !
Some of us prefer to just levitate slightly above ground when shooting:
…but again, the results speak for themselves:
Every now and then we find a photo or two shot by a wedding guest in our e-mail inbox… and sometimes they catch us… aaaam, yes working !
Questions about the last photo will not be answered. Hope you enjoyed reading this !
