When Devon and Brian hired me to shoot their wedding this past summer, they told me they were looking for a strict PJ approach. Not pajamas, of course! PJ stands for Photo Journalism. Many couples tell me they want their weddings shot in the PJ style but most end up expecting a lot of traditional portraits as well 🙂 Devon and Brian were the exception. Since I normally shoot weddings all day anyway, a majority of my images are already candid. However, just shooting away, employing the Spray’n’Pray method of capturing great images is not my idea of candid photography! I like to look for angles and foregrounds that help frame an image and tell a story. Since Devon owns her own nursery business, I thought including some of her handpicked flowers would be fun.

This wedding party was quite large; they were also very willing to do whatever I asked of them 🙂 Since most of the bridesmaids were on dance team together, I knew this shot was going to be fun.
