I was published in The Knot Best of 2008 Issue!

When I was at Barnes and Noble yesterday trying to purchase something with my violated credit card, this is what I was purchasing:

One of the pictures I took while second shooting weddings for Laura Dombrowski Photography was picked by The Knot to illustrate cute orange decorations! (Laura is a fantastic Denver wedding photographer well worth checking out if you are a Colorado bride!)

That photo (which you may recognize from our wedding site contact page) is a great example of how getting closer can provide an entirely different photo. It began with this idea I had of a picture of the flower girls (they were already standing in a group waiting for the reception to start, so I simply had them bring their flowers together):

I wasn’t crazy about everything going on in the background, but then I realized that I had another great photo right there. Without moving anything except ME, I stepped in quickly and took this second shot:

Just another example of how many ways there are to take different photographs of one subject. If I hadn’t thought to take one step closer, we wouldn’t have been able to do a happy dance over my photo being published in The Best of 2008 Weddings magazine by The Knot!
