Precious Moments


Ok, so this is the first time I've posted to our blog.....to any blog for that matter.....EVER! I wanted to discuss the different 'visions' two different photographers can have while shooting. Whether we are shooting an event or just shooting nature; it always amazes me how Ray and I can be looking at the same thing but see two totally different things worth capturing with the camera.
The bride in this picture is cradling her sweet nephew at her wedding reception. The desired picture for the bride and groom was to have a joint picture while holding their nephew. As that picture was great, this image just unfolded in front of me, and I had to capture it. After the initial picture was taken the groom went on to continue to visit with family and friends. However, the bride continued to hold and cradle her nephew. She was just holding him in her arms and swaying to the music being played. As the sun set on the day and the bride continued to sway......she lifted her nephew for that 'oh so sweet' moment and kissed his sweet face.
As a woman, I was just in awe watching her dance around holding him, while Ray went about the reception shooting pictures of other things. I'm not saying what he did was wrong, not by any means because he was doing his job. I'm just amazed at how two photographers can be shooting the same event, and looking at the same things, but capture two totally different images and moments.
Is this the product of two different eyes for detail.......the fact that there is a male and female photgrapher.....OR......is it a little of both? You decide.
