Hector and Emily’s Wedding at Saphire Estate in Sharon, MA
What inspires a photographer to take a shot? Aside from the technical aspects constantly consuming my mind, the thing that I am looking to capture, that motivates me to lift the camera and release the shutter, is emotion. As a wedding photographer, my subject is people. What separates people from other inanimate subjects is the ability to express emotion. Emotion conveys the subject’s experience and thoughts. Emotion tells a story. Without it, even the most technically sound photograph is just not the same. So when a wedding comes along like Hector and Emily’s where everyone is comfortable expressing their emotions, I am thrilled. From the first moment the groom, Hector, laid eyes on his bride, he was moved. As was every guest who came to witness this beautiful couple exchange vows. There was not a dry eye among them by the time the officiant pronounced them husband and wife. But it wasn’t all joyful tears captured that day. There were plenty of smiles, laughs, and tons of dancing to photograph throughout their Saphire Estate reception. It was the perfect end to a perfect day to capture some truly inspired images for Hector and Emily to enjoy for many years to come.
