I like this photo.

Most of the day when I am shooting wedding pictures, I like to be as photojournalistic as possible.

When I am shooting “formal” I like to go for a light touch. You can’t tell people nothing, because they get confused. But if you tell them exactly how to be, they get still. Somewhere in the middle is the light touch that allows people to express actual emotions.

I look at this photo, and I see two people who are feeling a lot of love. If I had just posed them, it would not have come out so strongly.
