Uniqueness of each session
A couple this week asked me how many weddings have i photographed at San Francisco City Hall. I didn’t have a good answer so I said it’s 600 plus weddings just the City Hall. And after all these weddings every new one feels just as fresh to me as it did when I started. The main difference is I know a lot more and have the skills to put my ideas and thought into an image. It never feels dull or boring. I love the excitement of the couples. The excitement of the environment where there are many weddings happening at the same time. It’s just good, happy vibes and if I have a break of few weeks when I don’t shoot any weddings at the City Hall, i realize miss it.
Even though the location is the same, the couples, their guests are different. You add lighting into this and at times challenging situations when the Grand Stairwell is packed and the bride would love to take a few photos there and it creates an exciting session for me. It’s just never the same. The way i talk to each couple is different. I can say something silly to get them to smile. Then it might not work for someone else and we go with more serious mood. We are all very unique and so each session has to be unique
And as always posting some photos from my sessions. During this session I wanted to create a variety of images and especially take advantage of the empty Grand Stairwell which is quite rare.
