While I may not “sell” myself as a wedding photojournalist, I’d say the better part of any given wedding day exhibits 80% photojournalistic moments. Sure the 20% “creative wedding portraits” is what I show on said blog post. Why? Because it’s an effective mechanism to showcase my best & distinguish from the pack.

Go to any arts festival, say the Cherry Creek Arts Festival, and you’ll find 300 exhibiting artists. NONE of their work looks the same. FAR FROM IT!

Look at wedding photography, 90% IS THE SAME.

People hire a photographer, yes for personality, but they should also hire a wedding photographer whose work they admire. Like buying ‘good’ art , much is subjective. However, last time I looked photography posits itself within the fine arts department of any given college or university. Not a ‘business’ nor ‘sorority’ sector like I see so much in an industry surrounded by expensive everything.

Planning a wedding myself, I see it. And I call it (just saying).

There are lots of new photogs chasing the Status Quo. Guess what: if they don’t grow cohones, their days are numbered.

Here are a few photojournalistic moments, captured… never promised, but delivered on-time:

Always wanted to selective hand-color a bald Denver wedding photojournalist as my second-shooter! (Gino, please feel free to use this as your Facebook profile):

At 93, looking back at a photo of herself in her ‘younger years’ with a very different perspective: Not quite a photojournalistic moment… but VERY close to the truth. There’s just something very ‘fashionable’ about this shot of the guys about ready to light up stogies: Go grandma, go!
