I think I have a problem. People who know me best are probably like, “Ahhem… excuse me Ben, you have many problems.” Okay, they’re right… I’ve got no rebuttal. Such as, I have OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) type tendencies. I’m pretty sure we all do, but sometimes I think I take it to a whole new level. For example, my closet. My closet is arranged via color & style. The left side begins with light colored, short-sleeved shirts. As you move down the closet, the the sleeves become longer & the shirts get darker until you reach the pants… light color jeans to dark to slacks. Plus, if someone were to sneak in my closet & rearrange anything, I would immediately know it. No kidding.
The closet is indicative of my entire life. Everything is in some sort of order & if it is “out” of order, we’ve got problems folks. Just imagine how my life has changed since we’ve had kids.
But sometimes I think this can be a strength.
I have an obsession with details. In most cases, I immediately see when something is slightly off. Maybe it’s a picture on the wall that isn’t straight, a brochure where the spacing isn’t flush, etc. I could go on & on. No really, I could.
So… all that to say, one of my favorite things about photography is capturing details & expressions. I assisted another photographer this weekend for Matthew & Jessica’s wedding. It was a lovely ceremony & the reception was top-class as details were priority. Congrats Matthew & Jessica!
As Jessica was coming down the aisle for her “first-look” at her man.
Those shoes are straight up rock & roll!
One of the groomsmen, Ben, had the strategy mapped out… it was almost game-time.
It’s game-time!
This little girl was the bride’s niece… love that little expression.
Ahh… very well done!
Here’s the retro-styled getaway golf-cart. What a great day for a wedding!
