First Look for Wedding's (How I did it)

First, looks are always exciting, and you never know what you will see when your photographer. For me, I don’t want to be the attention. It’s the bride and groom and their private moment. In this case, we set it up. I had the groom sit on a bench. I told him to think about his bride and this day. With that, when his bride gets into position, I would ask him to get up and go around the corner of the tree to see her for the very first time.

When I told him to move, I went way out with my 100-400 lens so that they would not hear me or see me. It’s their special time. My job now was to document it.

Next, I told dad to wait for 15 minutes and then come down to see his daughter for the first time.

There is always a special moment between a dad and his daughter.

First looks as I said before are special. It’s our job to document and stay out of it. Yes, a few tears came out of my eyes. It’s a special time even for the professional.

Aviation Photography

For many years, I have been going to EAA in Oshkosh, WI. Facts, my love for planes started back when I was working on the ambulance. Yes, you heard it right. You see, we're the crew for the flight line, and I learned a lot about planes and the pilots threw their story's from their wives. This brings me to today. Once again, I went to EAA, this time as a photographer.

While this was not my first time taking pictures of these incredible machines, it was my first time after many hours of practicing new technics.

I also wanted to be creative when it came to aviation. Yes, get the shot everyone likes to see. But also get the image that many people did not think of, like the wheels of a 747.

One thing over the years that have not change is my love for planes and aviation. At the airports, some people like looking at people. I look at planes after planes taking off. I have been to many museums not just once but return many times. With all of this, I decided that I want to make Aviation part of my photography portfolio. I enjoy aviation. If I had to make my career over again, I would like to be a pilot. While I am getting older, I will do the next best. Document Aviation. Next show Cleveland.
