As a professional wedding photographer, I absolutely adore photographing my clients as they share their first dance as husband and wife. The grace and beauty of this special time is truly a joy to capture.
Between the lights, the color and the magic of the moment there are so many opportunities for me to photograph some truly artistic and emotionally moving portraits. I think it's really neat when my clients and their friends include special elements during the first dance such as blowing bubbles or lighting sparklers. Even the flash from the guests iPhone can add an artistic flare to the background of pictures taken at this time. Ordinary raindrops are exceptionally gorgeous if you're lucky to have a light rain showers during the first dance since every droplet of water reflects the light from my camera flash like 1 million sparkling diamonds floating in the sky.
Hopefully the year to come will bring many opportunities for me to photograph people celebrating these sweet fleeting moments during their wedding day. No matter if you're an accomplished dancer or have two left feet when you have the love of your life in your arms and your faced with a choice to sit it out or take the chance, I hope you dance!
