Now although this photo may not jump out at you as a magnificent capture it is still one of my favourite photos from Lauren & Shauns wedding day. It tells a story, maybe not to you, but to Stephen, the father of the bride. In this post I am going to try & tell a bit of the story behind the photo by adding some context & a few more photos, but to start with I want you to look at this image & try to work out what is going on. Create your own story & drop me a message in the comments section with your theory.
So, if you have ever been in a house while the bride/ bridesmaids/ mother of the bride etc... are getting ready you will know that it is usually a big fat mess! The house is like a bomb has struck & people are rushing around & getting all worked up. Sounds normal right? Well not here, everyone was relaxed & chilled, especially the father of the bride.
So relaxed that Stephen was 'chilling' in his office on his laptop.
So I spotted Stephen in his office on his laptop. After a few passes I realised he was typing up his speech. What a dude! This was the first shot I captured from outside the room. I shoot to leave stuff out on purpose. I knew he was on his laptop but if I had include it in the photo the story would have been done & I don't like that. I would rather leave stuff out so YOU have to think about what is going on. I talk about this on my Q&A page where I discuss what a perfect photo is in my opinion.
Below are the next two photos in this short three image 'photo story'... These two images complete the story & make it obvious to everyone but I still much prefer the much more elusive original image that leads you to wonder what is going on.
