There is something extremely Magical to me about this photo, and I want to share it with you for a number of reasons:
1. It’s not about what they are wearing, if the clothing is in style, or was in style when this was created
2. It’s not about the amazing composition of the wedding couple posed perfectly
3. It’s not about the hair or make up, or flowers or jewelry
4. It’s not about the proper lighting and dodging and burning effect used to frame the couple
5. It’s really not even the expressions the couple have (although I look to see if I can see myself in them) because
It is simply.. the people in the photo.
It is the one of the few images of my grandpa Emil and grandma Darlene Sell created on their wedding day. For me it’s the beginning of romance that would eventually lead to children, grandchildren, jobs, homes, gardens, holiday etc. Even though my visual memory of them is as aged grandparents, I appriciate what story this one image tells me.

A GREAT PORTRAIT….really isn’t about what you wear or if you match or if you can afford designer clothes, A great portrait is “one that is created“. Today I encourage you to start your legacy for generations beyond you. Have someone, somewhere help you create your legacy portrait. Don’t put it off one more second, and should you need my help, I’m only a phone call away.
