...photographed by my brother.
I'm often amazed at the places he's gone because of his skill with a camera. His talent with the camera is augmented by his ability to be around anybody comfortably. They relax with him and the images are amazing.
And, even though some of the traditions look a little different from the typical Western "white wedding," to proclaim unity in front of God and everyone, is the seed of marriage.

Your brother's a very talented photographer, Ruth Anne. I'm an amateur photographer and avoid shooting weddings at all costs. Most nervous day of my life was when I shot my sister's wedding, at her insistence.
I'm always a big fan of the "preparation" shots, and your brother's done a good job there. The background, as often with such situations, is not terribly photogenic, so choice of camera angle is very important. He's done a great job of combining tight close-ups with the occasional wide shot to give the overall atmosphere.
Pat: I don't know if you know, but he does have an extensive background in photojournalism and that prepared him for his documentary style of weddings. He worked for the Chicago Tribune for many years, both in Chicago and in their Washington D.C. bureau [White House press corps for Bush 41], many years at the Arizona Republic and innumerable freelance jobs for Sports Illustrated, Time, Newsweek, National Geographic among many others.
You must know I'm pretty darn proud of him.
These photos were very unique. It was a very different wedding that Paul did.
I'm mighty proud of the photo he took of my first Gordon, Spice. That photo graces my web site header as well as is an oil painting in my house done by a dog artist who now is just going to town with his genre... and it became a caricature for a shirt that says, "Grace Abounding: Gordon Setter." All of that from one photo!!
Yuppers...that's 2 of us who are pretty proud of him and his work. I secretly suspect that there are more....
