Laurence Chen : Philosophy
   

What do you see when you look at wedding photography? Beyond the beautiful dresses and flowers, beyond the picturesque settings, there are the emotions, the moments, and the personalities.

My wedding photography comes from a documentary perspective. I concentrate on candid moments of people that evoke a sense of the day's special mood and character. As well as the traditional posed group photographs, my specialty is seeing and capturing fleeting, unposed moments that reveal the joy and energy of people being themselves.

I photograph all the planned events, but I believe my photography is distinctive because I also aggressively seek those moments which are more subtle, yet nonetheless beautiful and stirring. Every image I make maximizes the moment's evocative, emotional, and compositional content. Every image works to tell the story about your wedding day through the personalities of you, your friends, and your family.

After viewing my portfolio for the first time, a client once told me she could see herself, her fiancee, her friends, and her family in my photography, even though she was seeing images of other people. Feelings like that come from people being comfortable with the presence of the photographeróso comfortable that they just relax, have fun, and forget about the guy with the camera. I hope you see this in my portfolio, too.

If the images here interest you, I'd be happy to speak with you to discuss in greater detail what I offer and how I work to provide you with distinctive memories of your wedding day.
