For me, wedding photojournalism — in contrast to “traditional” wedding photography — is about creating a body of images that accurately, faithfully and exhaustively document the events of the day. I don’t direct people. I don’t say, “Stand here, do this, move there.” Sure I’ll do the handful of traditional posed shots, but typically I’ll get those out of the way in 10 or 15 minutes; nobody likes to pose on their wedding day.
I’ve been shooting for 30 years, I’m unobtrusive, I am there to capture moments that others don’t see. I’ve spent my life paying attention…observing, noticing, seeing the moments. The images that people will look back on and say, “I remember how I felt then.” “I know exactly what she was thinking in that picture.” “I know that look, and how I felt when I saw it.” Those are the images that will stay with you. Those are the images your children and grandchildren will look at and realize that, yes, once upon a time, these two were young once and in love.
When I’m shooting a portrait, I use my camera to see into another person and find who is really there; see someone even they don't know or perhaps someone they've forgotten. Photography allows me to share that with them and the rest of the world. Portrait photography is a way to find meaning and reveal the truth of life and love buried within all of us. There is in each of us some measure of beauty and hope and fear. We are most human — most ourselves — when we share that with others.
