When you think of weddings, what comes to mind most of the time is the big dress, the glamorous ballrooms, the wedding party entourage, so rarely does 'family' pop into mind first and for most. Perhaps that is why small, intimate weddings can be so storybook perfect. And family is what Michele had her focus on when she first came to me about capture the moments of her day. A small group of family members gathered together in a picturesque chapel near Jones Beach in St. Catherine's. The Chaplin converted his living room into a wedding chapel capable of holding no more then a handful of people, the alter centered in the front of the room where wedding couples would be bathed in the light from the front windows. Quaint and cozy, the setting is optimal for humble family orientated weddings.
Chaplin Terry incorporated several traditions into the ceremony, including hand fasten and prayers. Since a reception would not be held later, he also cleared the floor and played some skillfully selected songs for the couple to share their first dance as well the other speciality dances. Mock Champaign was handed out for toasting, speeches and congratulations were given. The chapel was not only perfectly set up for smaller weddings, but located within walking distance to one of the more quiet known beaches of St. Catherine's we were ventured for the family/formal photo sessions. Despite a few groupings of some small bugs, the location was great and for the most part bystander free to grab some images to tie the event together.
Simple and soft, large and audacious, either way I love photographing weddings and capturing those special moments, both candied and comprised to recall life's most important milestones.
The following are a few of the images acquired that day.
