There I was happily shooting myself, then came these newly married people and their people to shoot next to me. It was so excitingly unexpected I had to include them. As I edited the pictures I realized that if I were to say to you that I went to a wedding, you might believe me. Photography is such an interesting medium. Often held as a measure of truth, there is often so much more to what is framed and a bigger portion of the story exists outside the photograph.
