…the portraits…

(Now, I don’t know any of the people involved in this wedding but I would bet money that this was a photographer-client match made in heaven. There is a certain calm and ease that seems to be equally imparted from the subjects and the photographer… Do you and your photographer have complimentary personalities? It usually makes for better pictures! Your photographer will be approaching the day and seeing things, and you, more in line with the way you see…)
