focus, fun and finish

I was speaking to my assistant while driving home from a beautiful wedding (just look at the pictures above), and we started playing around with some of the key ingredients to photographing an event day. I often say it is time to FOCUS. It hardly needs explanation, but the term helps direct our attention on the day at hand and see its unfolding. At the same time, I love what I do. All events whether they are weddings or Bar Mitzvahs or whatever, are celebrations and a celebration is always fun in my mind. So FUN became the second mantra of our slogan. However we felt one final word was necessary and after some discussion came up with FINISH.

Thus FOCUS, FUN and FINISH became our maxim of the day and of all event days really. It sums up the component ingredients of photographing any day. The FINISH is never taking your eye off the action until the end. This can mean waiting for that spontaneous laugh, or just seeing the wedding couple at their final dance.

What do you think are the key ingredients to great event pictures?

Amazing Boston Wedding!

I've entitled this "Amazing Boston Wedding" because it was! I love weddings where everyone is having a good time and LIVING THE DAY. It's true that it is one of the most planned and important days of a lifetime but for that same very reason it's true that one must enjoy it and experience the fun. From getting ready (see previous blog post), to coming down the aisle (I love the flower children), to the ceremony and beyond we had a great time capturing the moments. Here's what the bride had to say:

Hi Robert,

I want to let you know what a fantastic job you did. I absolutely LOVE the pictures. Each one is better than the next! You did a great job capturing our day without being intrusive.

The photo albums arrived yesterday too and again- we had so much fun looking through.

Also- if you ever need anyone to provide a reference for you, we'd love to help in any way we can.

Thank you again for helping make our special day truly special!
