I can clearly remember coming home from college with my updated photography portfolio in my hand. Back then (I feel old) it wasn't a CD or a web-page, but an actual leather book with 15-20 printed images in it of my "best work" inside. Beyond it's distinct smell of fixer and it's impressive size, what I remember the most about that portfolio is what my dad said about it as he flipped through the pages....
There I sat, a recent, excited graduate with tons of student loans to pay and my good-intentioned dad says, "Too bad they're not in color." and "Why isn't anyone looking at you?" Well, it's been a long time since college, but still LOVE black and whites and my favorite images are STILL the ones where people aren't looking at the camera.
Though my dad will probably never understand, I think that Elizabeth and Peter will enjoy these images of their recent wedding. I wanted to capture how much love there was on this special day, as far as I'm concerned, nothing says that better than a gorgeous bride and a happy groom who are not looking at ME... in black and white, of coarse!
