WEDDINGS
LUCY MOHR:
CAPTURING REAL MOMENTS
MY FAVOURITE WEDDING PHOTOS ARE BY FAR THE ONES THAT TELL A STORY; THOSE
THAT CONVEY A SENSE OF EMOTION, OF ANTICIPATION, OF LOVE, AND THAT GIVE A
REAL FEEL FOR THE SHEER AMOUNT OF FUN THAT’S HAPPENING IN THE ROOM.
It might appear easy to an untrained eye, but
taking images that paint an emotional picture isn’t
as simple as it might first seem. You need to
instinctively sense what is about to come, which
means you have to be very in tune with people, the
mood of the room and the emotions and relationships
between each individual. It can be a skill that is quite
hard to turn off when you're not working – although
often I wish I could!
My favourite part about wedding photography is
having the privilege to be invited into people’s lives.
A wedding is one of the most personal experiences
a couple will ever share with one another, and you
get to be there to witness – in the now famous words
of Richard Curtis – that love actually is all around.
No matter how many times I witness it, it always
gives me butterflies.
