I like to think of it as capturing moments/memories that mean something to the couple. They may not see most of those moments during the wedding and reception, but looking at them later makes them smile, laugh, cry. THEY are what life is all about.</p> <p>I hate doing the set up shots of the family and wedding party all in neat rows, but I do them. </p> <p>I have two weddings to do so far this year .. I dread and love them at the same time, but I will say that I'm always very excited about the outcome.</p> These photos of your best friend's wedding are exactly what I love about shooting weddings – the photojournalistic style.

I hate doing the set up shots of the family and wedding party all in neat rows, but I do them.

I have two weddings to do so far this year .. I dread and love them at the same time, but I will say that I'm always very excited about the outcome.

They were from a few months ago, it was about the same time that I was doing the workshop with you and was shooting a Japanese wedding! Wedding is hard, but I think there are so many opportunities to do PJ work in it, making it very fun also! I am seeing more and more people requesting documentary style of wedding photography rather than the traditional, posed style of photography. If you were to get into it, I don't think you can make it boring, you just have to find the right couple that will go for your style! (O:</p> I remember these!
