Jeanie and Michael’s wedding was at Glassworks in Louisville. I told you yesterday I had shot there before, but I was running video at the last one so I only made a couple of frames. This time, it was my show and I was able to get away with quite a bit, snapping this beautiful moment right behind the bride and groom – something you’re not really in a position to do at most weddings. I hid to the side and the podium for most of the wedding, shooting low. When the moment was right, I sneaked in for the kill.

For any hardcore photojournalists who think I was too much a part of the event, check out Derek’s photo from the other end. That’s the same view most of the crowd had, too. In the end, I’m there to make nice pictures for Jeanie and Michael, and I did what I thought I needed to do to get my job done. I actually think this was less intrusive than shooting from the front row and moving around a lot. 

As always, the wedding was beautiful (and incredibly short!). I appreciate Michael and Jeanie trusting me to be there for their big day. Congratulations to each of them, and best of luck. I guess “best of luck” could just apply to their honeymoon, since they are going to Vegas! Have fun guys.
