Weddings, B/Mitzvahs, Celebrations! Some shots must be posed - but the rest will be wedding photojournalism as it happens. I cover these celebrations like I would for a (good!) news event.

These photos represent various times, places, and people. They wanted the photographer to be like a fly on the wall and mingle easily with the guests - only with a REALLY good camera. ©James Aronovsky

The Bride, the Cake, the Flower Girl. The Photographer spots it. The moments before the ceremony can be emotional. This is where I'm unobtrus... Every bride has her own way to relax before the ceremony. Sister and cousin debate the final position of the garter. I stayed silent. Unposed, no flash: Wedding Photojournalism Ceremony before the start of the wedding. Candlelight was the only illumination. This is not necessarily photojournalism, but it sure looks nice on the mantel. This IS Wedding Photojournalism and I capture those unexpected moments. Luckily, the veil behaved during the ceremony. The Ring Just Before the Kiss Another Pre-Kiss Posed Groups Shots? Sure, I can do that. Sometimes, the moment before the formal pose tells a better story. Wedding Photojournalists move in close when they see the shot. Details. Details. DETAILS. Little spots of color and form will help fill in the memories. Just Married 1. Just Married 2. Just Married 3. If you're a Bar Mitzvah boy, you WILL be embarrassed by your grandmother! Her Great Grandson just got married. Giving advice to future brides. The beach. Sunset. Portrait! Listening to his fathers's toast. And now to toast his bride. Party... Party... Par-tay! the eating of the CAKE the removal of the GARTER the catching of the BOUQUET Even brides need to eat. Two beautiful girls separated by 97 years. Two-Fisted drinker. Giving advice to her grandson and great-grandson. Best Man giving advice before the honeymoon. Bridesmaids finally get to cool off. Let the Party begin!
