I Ain't Said Nothin' But A Word...: CAPTURED THROUGH HIS LENS

CAPTURED THROUGH HIS LENS

I find myself doing a lot of research on weddings and honeymoons. I'm always looking for ideas for some story or another that showcases just how beautiful the union of matrimony could be.

Different things inspire me. The colors in a wedding bouquet. A gorgeous wedding gown. The beautiful bride and groom. A wedding cake that veers from the traditional. I like to find these things to piece together my own interpretation of a perfect wedding.

I happened upon this photograher's blog site via another author's blog. I have just been captivated by Ross Oscar Knight's work, returning time and time again to explore his space. The man is exceptionally talented and I admire what he can do with a camera. I have challenged myself to translate such beauty into words, much like he has translated it to film.

Click the link below. I had to share this with you. It is truly a wondeful piece of photo-telling! What Ross had managed to capture through his lens is just breathtaking. I could just feel the joy this couple shared on their special day. They were such an exquisite couple. The imagery is simply amazing and love is just spilling out of the photographs.

If you're in the Atlanta area, look him up. If I should have a romantic event in my life some time in the future, I'll surely be headed South to hire him to photograph the moment.

Enjoy!
