When photographing bride and groom portraits I have a number of gestures I like each couple to try out. What I’m really looking for is what they do in-between poses. Do they laugh? Do they snuggle up? Do they kiss? Shooting those in-between moments show the couple’s true personality.
This is what I loved about photographing Danielle & Dejan, they are constantly showing love to one another in their in-between moments, even in the smallest ways. Just like this photo, how Dejan gently moves Danielle’s hair so he can see her gorgeous smile. It wasn’t staged. I didn’t tell him to do that. He naturally just wanted to care for his wife and look into her beautiful eyes, to see the woman he fell in love with. To me, it’s precious and it’s the reason I love photographing weddings. It’s those moments where you think no one is looking that captures the real beauty, the beauty worth photographing. The genuine, heartfelt moments that show who you really are.
Those are the moments I live for – the in-between, real, loving moments.
