I had a fabulous midday meeting with Survivor star Stephenie LaGrossa and wedding coordinator Joannie Liss. Hosted in Joannie’s darling downtown home, we talked shop and dreamed big about Stephenie’s marriage to Philadelphia Phillies pitcher, Kyle Kendrick.

We had such a wonderful time, and it’s a shame I wasn’t able to stay and enjoy lunch! Happy Monday, everybody!

Timelessness in wedding photojournalism means simplifying an image into a classic emotional moment that by its very nature transcends the passage of time. As a photographer you have to recognize those moments, little slices of life, where everything at once is happening for an incredible emotional impact.
A timeless image is when you’re truly capturing the moment in a traditional way, making sure that you’re getting what’s there in the first place. With all of the image manipulation tools today, people have become trigger-happy, in terms of overworking their images and overdoing things for special effects. I would hate to see a bride’s wedding rendered ‘fantastic’ with all of these new effects; but, when ten years down the road the novelty of the effects fades, there’s not much left there…
