Couples in love. That\u2019s what we do, right? Gabby and Michael are in love. Very much so. I saw it in every move they made. It\u2019s our job to capture this love, and capture it without making our couples who we want them to be, or how we want them to be. If you\u2019re at all familiar with my work, you\u2019ll know that what turns me on is light. What also turns me on are moments. Beautiful light, accompanied by a beautiful moment makes a powerful image. <\/p>\n

Gabby and Michael weren\u2019t told to act a certain way. They weren\u2019t told to jump in the air, or do anything trite or staged. I simply put them in the best lighting scenario, and the strongest compositional situation, and the rest is up to them. That\u2019s how I try and work with all of my couples. Light, gesture, emotion= a beautiful image. <\/p>\n

Sebastiao Selgado once said \u201cIt\u2019s not the photographer who makes the picture, but the person being photographed\u201d. I couldn\u2019t agree more. Let me control the light, and let the couples control themselves. I never told Michael to \u201ckiss her hand\u201d. That\u2019s not what I do. The moment looks real, because it is, thanks to Michael and Gabby. <\/p>\n
