The Art Of Laughter

To me, one of the most amazing things about photographing a wedding is the view that I get of people. Deep conversation over here in the corner…

Enjoying the speeches at dinner...

...but everywhere, all day, laughter.

As C.S. Lewis puts it, within the true joy that causes human laughter “some pretext in the way of jokes is usually provided, but the facility with which the smallest witticisms produce laughter at such a time shows that they are not the real cause…Something like it is expressed in music, and something like it occurs in Heaven.”

Laughter at a wedding is abundant and flowing – it’s all part of the day.

And being able to grasp that laughter and hold it still for a moment – or a lifetime – is one of the things that the art of photography is all about.

Enjoying laughter over the small things,
