Wedding Portrait

The value of a single photograph can not be measured in dollars and cents. This image was taken at a wedding in 2008.

While I was waiting for the bride to get ready and I looked over to find her grandmother sitting in this wonderful room and took this one photo. I didn't think anything special about the photo.
Just another portrait or so I thought.

During a recent design consult with the bride we were viewing her photos when she said " Oh, wow I need to get a print of that photo of grandmother because she passed away last year."  


One of the most difficult wedding concepts for most people to understand is how the emotional value of an image increases as time goes by.  


As photographers, we capture moments that may become more important than we ever expected or realized.
