Your favorite wedding photo

There seem to be a lot of wedding photographers here, so I thought this might
be interesting. Please post what you consider to be your best wedding photo
(just one - to make you really think about your choice :) ). Note that this
isn't a call only to wedding photographers. Anybody can post, as long as it's
your own photo.

I'll get the ball rolling. I'm not a wedding photographer, I just took some
pictures (as a guest) at my cousin's wedding recently. But I still like some
of the photos, especially this one:

    I love the reflection. I'm not surprised you're proud of that one. :)

    cj99si,

    Love that shot, but I can't figure out is what are they standing on? And what is giving the reflection? headscratch.gif

    My favorite wedding photo - that's hard. I had a hard time just narrowing it down to these few:

    1. From one of my very first weddings last year - I've posted it before ...
    235507334_UBN82-L.jpg

    2. I really like the visual depth of this photo and the implied emotion of the bride
    204113936_fjNe9-L.jpg

    3. This was just a fun shot
    199249157_SynpH-L.jpg

    4. The bride and groom - it's the intense sense of calm and happiness on her face that just blows me away

    5. Same couple - I guess the groom is happy!

    This is not a real wedding (it's a shot from Shay's WPBC San Diego 2007), but I'll play:

    Do you have external links turned on for this? I can get the url and see the photo, but not in your post.

    Works now! And, that is a beautiful shot. I also got a couple of keepers there, but thought I should include only those I got "on the job" but it's all fair! And, i love that shot!

    I am with Scott and couldn't decide on a favorite. So....I chose a handful exit shots to display here.

    From my first wedding. The strong blast of light from a P&S from someone in the audience. I liked the pj feel.

    my faves
    I think my absolute favorite would have to be this one, I love the way the light touches her face and her expression:

    I just shot this last weekend (august 2nd) and it might now be my favorite bridal:

    So many photos from this summer to choose from, I have a few other favorites, but those are probably my top two for now :)

    here is one from my most recent wedding shoot... I was shooting 2nd on this one and it was a moment between posing when the b&g had a pure and tender moment... these are always my favorites! I love shooting PJ and these are the type of shots that most people gravitate to when they look over my work. This one begged for b&w IMO. I had a lot of favorites from this wedding but this one seemed most pure and representative of teir feelings for one another.

    This is from a previous shoot and again a simple moment in time... I love shooting little girls. I have a daughter who is now 9, and every time I take a picture of a young girl I remember how my own daughter was at that age. Simple treasures... one thing all girls cherish. Sometimes a rock from the beach or a broken button from her favorite dress that is now too small. For this little flower girl it was the flower pedals that she tossed around. I hope she finds a way to keep them to remember the day, but if not maybe this photo will help!

    Hey, I remember that wedding, I think!! That was your first!? NO WAY!
    Isn't that the one where the groomsmen all had pink boxers?
    (If so, I always tell that to grooms who have to wear girly colors and they looove that story.)

    Man you started out amazing!

    Wow, you have a good memory! Yep, those guys all have pink boxers on underneath it all! mwink.gif

    well, I had shot my brother's beach wedding with a Canon power shot about a year prior, but that was my first real wedding with real equipment (and a paycheck Laughing.gif).

    That wedding seems like sooooooo long ago...but it was last March, 2007.

    I think you don't have external links turned on.

    I took a quick peek at them (loading the URLs directly into a browswer) and I really like them - especially the first one.
