This is actually a homage to the first photo assignment I was given as an intern during my newspaper days back in 2008. The assignment was to photograph a pond. It was super boring, and my boss showed me how to look for elements to make the pond a more interesting composition, such as shooting past a branch at the top of the frame, exactly like this. Also, I love that it shows the guests and that where I was positioned I could be a standing guest as well.
Alex and Beau were set to have an elaborate wedding in a trendy hotel in Pittsburgh, PA but decided to push back their wedding to next year. They decided, with only a few weeks to spare, to go ahead and still get married on their original wedding day. They held their ceremony in the bride's mother's backyard with their friend as the officiant and roughly 20 other guests.
