Real , Simple  And   Honest  Films

My wife always gets a little upset with me when the pictures I take of our kids don't have them smiling perfectly at the camera.  They're usually laughing at each other or in their own world.  To me, these types of pictures are my favorite.  I want my kids to be themselves, truly comfortable to be who they are while I capture their pure hearts.  I feel the same about weddings.  Things will not go as planned; the flower girl refusing to walk down the aisle, the best man forgot his pants, one guest getting knocked out by another guest (witnessed all of these).  But it's OKAY if things don't go as planned.  It's a wedding day full of emotionally charged and beautiful people.  We need to roll with it.  Whatever happens, happens (as the photographer Daniel Kim would say). And that's where the beauty lies.  When people are completely themselves.  And in the present moment.  That is where the magic happens. THOSE moments, are the moments I look for.
