As a photographer I would always wonder what sort of elements are crucial when capturing wedding photos, and I have found out that the sense of reality is actually most important. The interactions among people and their feelings can bring out this sort of reality, thus, I try to focus on capturing these moments so even if strangers were to see these photos they would feel the joy and bliss on the couples special day, as if they were a part of the wedding too.
Davina and Rogers wedding is considered one of my recent favorites, and there were plenty of touching moments that I captured in this set of photo. The morning session took place at a church where they both exchanged their weddings vows in front of God and their closest family members and friends. I was mesmerized by the interior of the church as it was my first time here and the sky-high ceilings and warm lights gave me a sense of comfort. It was a bright and sunny day, and the sun was seeping through the landing glass partition when Davina walked down the aisle with her father in hand. The couple then shared their speech and footage with their audience and I felt like I truly understood them and the story they wanted to tell from the short clip.
The church ceremony took place the whole afternoon and we had to rush back to the evening dinner location for preparations. We didn’t have much time to take a lot of photos of the couples, but I felt like it wasn’t necessary as I always believe that the wedding day itself is not another pre-wedding shoot, but a time to capture more natural interactions among people through the lens of my camera.
The venue chosen for the dinner banquet was Grand Hyatt, a very beautiful and grand location. Both parents gave their speeches and the one that touched me the most was when Davina’s father reminisced the time when he brought his beloved daughter to the park for play time and how time has past and he is giving her away to Roger now. A lot of feelings were expressed on that night especially when the newlyweds had their first dance.
It was a fulfilling day to be able to celebrate the joy among Davina and Roger, and from the bottom of my heart, I would like to wish them a lifetime of happiness!
