Angie and I were at a wedding this weekend. We made it even with all the snow. I couldn’t help but to take a few images, I almost always have some sort of camera with me. It got me thinking about some of the things we do as photographers. I know we spend a little more time than many photographers getting to know our couples. It helps us see the important relationships, and capture them. It helped me take some of these images.

Even photographers have a hard time making decisions; sometimes not being able to pick a favorite. Portraits have become a dying art especially with Photojournalism. The timeless portrait, the picture that shows who someone is. The picture of a person that family members hold on to show generation after generation. I have thought about the reason many photographers overlook the power of a great portrait and I think it is because it takes time to develop the skills to get a great portrait. Getting the subject to open up and to be comfortable with the camera. I believe a good portrait will always be cherished and the art of portrait photography is so important.
