I love my job - one day I might be shooting the Yankees or the New Jersey Devils, and the next, I'm traipsing through woods for a story about a survivalists' camp. But with the future of newspapers as unstable as a tornado, many of us are "trying on" other careers, in case we find ourselves on the wrong side of the newspaper's door. So for the past year, I have dedicated myself to learning the art of wedding photography.
Weddings are so much like journalism, in that you are there to document the day's happenings. But unlike journalism, which often focuses on tragedy, loss, trauma or conflict, weddings are all about joy. That makes for a fun day for me - but also a creative challenge in capturing the romance, anticipation, excitement and spontaneous moments that illustrate the joy. Last weekend, I traveled to Savannah, Ga., to photograph the wedding of Dawn and Carlos. They were very easy-going and excited, and that made them easy to photograph. Everything went smoothly and I am grateful to have shared their day. Here are a few of my favorite snaps.
