Confessions of a sports photographer

I can't say I "jumped for joy" when Elizabeth and I decided to focus our photography business on weddings. As a long-time freelance sports photographer my male prejudice was that weddings would not be as challenging or fun to shoot as a ball going into or through a net or flying over a wall.

Well, I was wrong. While they require a different approach, weddings have plenty of action and can be very challenging given the venues, tricky lighting situations and various activities involved. I am still required to get certain moments, like the kiss, that only happen once.

The photo in this entry is one of my favorites from a recent wedding and reflects one of those once and only once moments, sort of like the winning goal!
