So much banter about a simple honest image.

 

As suggested above, I took a look at Chris Marr's dress shot.

Not the same at all...except it's of a dress hanging...which all of

us wedding photographers shoot if given the chance. Originality

is not contained in the subject matter of some event so

regimented to tradition. It comes from a fresh vision of those

traditions. IMO, Chris' image is a studio like still life...Mary's is

animated by light and a gentle breeze. One (while beautifully

composed and lit), looks contrived and somehow lifeless, while

the other connects the viewer to the Bride in an unpretentious

manner.

 

Much of Mary's work has this human quality. There is a

difference between a fairy tale approach which separates itself

from the actual people being married to reach for some iconic

ideal, and an approach that actually is a perceptive record of the

B&Gs most personal day spent in full view of hundreds of their

friends and family.

 

Mary is indeed very perceptive and personal in her approach.

That, as opposed to suffocating rules and obsession with

technique, is Mary's genius.

VERY distinctive. What an eye.

Nothing more need be said.

Love the dynamic of a tilted frame and the guys feet planted against the seat as if to keep from sliding forward. I also like the light in the window, it adds to the energy. One of my favorites !

The image in not to light. In fact this image is all about the light. Fantastic!

Can't believe some dolts rated this a double 3.

 

But it's an injustice I can do something about.

Somehow I missed this one before.

 

My kind of shot, so I'm swayed to a high rating.

 

Fully deserved IMO.

Maybe a little experimental cropping. And maybe not.

 

I see serious awe in her face, as if the words were really sinking in. Well captured.

An Iconic Image.

I'm speechless.

 

Powerful.

Excellent moment. Priceless expressions.

 

From a Detroit native...Bravo !

I'm curious why all these images are so pedestrian, given the less than pedestrian subject matter?

This entire folder is increadibly pedestrian for the subject matter portrayed.

At first I thought this to be overexposed. Yet, after looking at it for a second, I changed my mind. I actually love it for the pastel feel to the colors. Otherwise it would just be another fireworks image. This is more unique and more beautiful.
