Photographer Comments: Being inthe right position at the right time helps. At the end of every ceremony, we navigate our way to the front to prepare to capture for the couples first kiss after marriage. It's your standard Kodak moment, romantic, passionate, you name it. Most of the time, pictures come out great. If you're lucky, they come out awesome. This is an example where we just got lucky as the couples hands drifted just far enough away from each other to expose the sun. By using a high aperture, we were able to flare the sunrays without the use of a star filter.

Photographers Comments: This shot was taken shortly AFTER sunset. About 10 minutes after sunset, very cool colors start to emerge in the atmosphere, the pinks, the greens, the really deep oranges. Sometims, the sky even turns purple. Utiliziing a small flashs set on HIGH power, we managed to fill in the foreground quite respectively. It's important to note here that our flash, like in all pictures, are barely noticable. Many amature photographers tend to mount their flash WAY off camera, causing long shadows across the nose, or under the chin. Usually, a flash mounted directly on the camera is suffecient, resulting in perfect shadows. As you notice, there is the prefect amount of shadows under Alexia's chin.

Photographers Comments: So here's a portrait shot.. As you've probably noticed, all wedding photos usually revolve around the bride. Usually, a little hint of female dominance in shots somehow make photos a little more romantic. Don't ask me why, it just works. The female is usually proactive, while the groom is usually retroactive. The right side of the picture is always the stronger portion of the picture. Whenever possible, we try to shoot everything from the right or try to position the bride and groom on the right side of the picture.
