The Long Walk In
What distance can do for a photograph before anyone reaches the ceremony.
There is useful information in a long walk.
Before anyone arrives at the obvious part of the day, you can see the weather, the pace, the relationship between people, the small clusters that form naturally. A wide frame lets the scene breathe before it asks for faces.
Sometimes stepping back is the only way to tell the truth about scale.
Processions, walks, and arrivals are key parts of documentary wedding photography. I pay attention to the space around people because it helps a Calgary or Alberta wedding gallery feel like a complete story.
