A great wedding image should be one that captures a moment, summons emotion and makes you feel that you are there too. Many clients who come to see us say they feel very emotional looking at our wedding albums without even knowing the couples involved. I love this image of Heather and Arron’s wedding at Balbirnie House – it’s emotional, romantic, intimate and very real.
It’s great when the barrier between subject and photographer has been demolished and the presence of the camera has been completely forgotten. I need that to happen for my work to be successful. Natural emotions cannot be posed. They just look false. I’m more interested in a photograph capturing a perfect moment between people than I am in spending hours getting every crease out of a dress. I love this photograph because it conveys a real sense of the relationship between the couple and how much fun they were having.
