Documenting elopements and weddings means always looking for the small moments that have big meaning behind them.
For the wonder in someone’s else of experiencing something new.
The fun and silly moments.
Admiring the view or someone you love.
The silence when reality sets in and the day becomes REAL.
The journey or the process that made the day.
Conversations people hold dear with people you hadn’t seen in ages.
To me weddings, elopements, and even couple sessions aren’t just for those WOW photos of everyone looking their best. The small moments are what make each wedding one of a kind, and they hold the most sentimental value to me personally from not just my own wedding but my childhood too. Photos of us just on rocking chairs with grandparents enjoying a hot summer day or fishing in the river.
It’s something I like to keep in mind while photographing people. I know my clients appreciate it too, because the photos I see my past clients downloading even from weddings 5+ years ago aren’t the big group photos they’re the candids from cocktail hour, the hugs with grandparents, and the small “insignificant” moments throughout the day they’re downloading to relive.
And, honestly, it makes me so happy to see 🥹♥️
