Shot of a lifetime

June 23, 2009

I recently posted on Twitter that I took the shot of a lifetime at the wedding in Traverse City, and today I thought I would share it with you.    I saw this photograph in my head during the reception and I had to pull the bride and groom (Ken and Melissa) outside for a quick shot.  They were happy to oblige and we got this amazing shot.

I really love this shot, but what I like even more is the photograph that was sent to me today by Jason (the best Man).  Here’s how he saw the shot above.

I gotta give Jason a huge thank you for this image.  Jason, you have mad skilz!

Jason: Very serendipitous that we shot photos at the same moment. Mine's a snapshot, while yours is clearly photographic art.

Stephani: This is such an amazing picture! It was a pleasure hosting Ken and Melissa's wedding at Grand Traverse Resort and Spa! Such a beautiful couple on a beautiful day!

Melissa: Ed- you have the most amazing photographic eye, and Ken and I were very lucky to have you be the photographer at our wedding! Thank you for capturing our day!

admin: Thanks Melissa, I had an amazing time capturing your wedding.

earle (melissa's dad): Ed You and Julie were amazing at how you both worked and captured the day on film. The pics are super and we are having a hard time selecting which ones to chose.

Nick: That is really cool, two awesome shots!
