what he saw / what she saw

June 26, 2008

In going through the photos from the Wooster wedding today, I came across a really interesting photo pair. My husband Ali was shooting wih me, as he is wont (want?) to do for our destination work… he gets the straight-on angle stuff and I go for the more obscure details of the day. During one of the toasts:

I didn’t bother editing myself out of that first one that he took because it more proves my point. I had moved behind Katie and Victor because I didn’t like that the kitchen doors were propped open behind them. And I discovered that by going back there I could get their reactions, body language, and the father that was giving the toast. Ali covered our bases by getting the front view.

He also got a photo I think is kind of funny because it perfectly illustrates the craziness that is getting ready for a group photos with everyone from the wedding. In this case Katie and Vic both love an audience, so they were orchestrating the group. And there I am, busily shooting away and sticking my butt out!

And one more, just because I like the photo so much but it has no other place. This is a random detail shot from the wedding, at a point when the lights went out and they couldn’t figure out how to get them back on during the dancing. I love the way the light goes through the glass and the liquid.
