This photograph was taken when I was hanging out with the groomsmen for a few minutes before the bride arrived by limo for their ceremony at Saint Teresa’s in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. I got a few group formals with the guys, but wasn’t getting what I was looking for so I basically told them to just get in a circle with a gap so I could see Chad the groom. I fiddled with my camera so they thought I was changing settings and soon they forgot about me and a couple of the guys lit up cigarettes and they all relaxed and started shooting the shit. This is when I stepped away and onto the sidewalk by Saint Teresa’s. I got a few of these shoots and this one was my favorite of Chad and the guys.

I love shadows and silhouettes. They are moody and they really allow a photographer to have some fun with interpreting a scene and how they want a photograph to develop. In this instance the best man and his son where outside the church on the lookout for when the bride would arrive. I was watching this scene and I knew I wanted them to be in shadow and preserve some detail in the church. I waited and when the little guy turned his head to check out what was going behind him it was a simple click of the shutter. I think it wamkes the photgraph much stronger than to be looking at their backs.

This image was taken at about 1 PM and it was a cloudy day in new Hampshire, but right as Mitch had his mom pin his boutonniere on his lapel the sun broke through the clouds for a few moments and streamed through the door and viola! Some people hate flare, but I love it when it unexpectedly pops up.

Reservoir Dogs! All guys have seen “Reservoir Dogs” at least 5 times so everyone is always willing to do the “walk” especially when dressed up in a tux.
