A Wedding Photographer should Capture Monents

There are a lot of Orlando Wedding Photographers and so one of the way I try to differentiate myself from the other photographers is that I focus on creating a great images. The way that I do this is to capture the actions that are occurring, but more importantly, you’ve got to capture the reactions to those actions. It’s these reactions that create the special moments that you want captured, it’s the difference between a great shot and a snapshot. This is a great example of capturing a reaction and thus a moment.
Here is an image I took a few weeks ago at the Omni ChampionsGate Resort [Link]. Just before I captured this image, the couple was clowning around and then he started laughing really hard and that’s when I captured this moment.
That’s it for me, today I’m finishing up the Orlando Young Professional September Social pictures and I’m hoping to have them up tomorrow. Talk to you then.

Just to the south of Orlando and past Walt Disney World is an incredible resort perfect for a wedding ceremony and reception. The Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate features elegant ballrooms perfect for a reception of any size and lush tropical outdoor grassy area overlooking the golf course in the shadow of this awesome hotel.
The outdoor grassy area is also the perfect place for an outdoor wedding reception.
If you are interested in a Trash the Dress photo session [Link] the day after your wedding, the lazy river and pool area at the Omni makes the perfect back drop.
Also, remember that Saturday’s are typically very popular wedding days for a resort like this, so if you have flexibility in your schedule be sure to ask them what their rates would be on Friday or Sunday [Link].
When you contact the hotel, please be sure to tell them where you heard about their location.
