Sometimes photography feels like child’s play. And sometimes it is! Here a child photographs the bride and groom with her digital camera.   My photos of the scene follow.  Wedding photography at Hamilton Farm Golf Club, Gladstone, New Jersey.

Back in 2002, I attended a workshop with Denis Reggie entitled “Digital Wedding Photojournalism”. While teaching film photographers how to go digital, Denis also offered his insights on the art and business of wedding photography. His approach to weddings, explained and illustrated during the 4-day workshop, inspired me to change careers and to start photographing weddings full-time. In an interview on Canon’s web site, Denis discusses his background and describes some of his current working methods. Please click here for the interview.

Most weddings feel at least a little rushed because there’s so much to do in a short amount of time. Many run a little behind schedule, and some go w-a-a-ay off schedule. I’ve added an article to my web site with some ideas on how to keep a wedding on schedule. To read it, please click here.
