what is wedding photography? part two

Posted in asheville weddings, photographers, Uncategorized, weddings

Hello world, A while back I posted the question “what is wedding photography?” I received an overwhelming response to the question. Emails, comments and calls came in for several days after. Some were mad, some were hurt, some thanked me and some just didn’t see where I got off posting something like that, “I mean...

Thank you.

Ann Norment - January 8, 2012 - 9:27 am

Absolutely stunning images! You nailed it on what wedding photography is all about and your right, the key is to get to know your couple very well to see through their eyes. These are very beautiful. If they make me feel emotional, then I can only imagine what it does for this couple.

Alicia - November 29, 2011 - 6:52 pm

Someone linked me to your site today, I am blown away by your images. You have an incredible eye!!!

Ray - November 25, 2011 - 9:01 pm

An absolute awesome job. I don’t think people realize how awesome an outdoor wedding can be. I love your black and white and tints you use in your photographs.

Rona Leah - October 21, 2011 - 2:25 pm

Need anymore be said? I think not. I create portraits for families. It’s the same really, “so much more than we can ever see.”

celeste - October 21, 2011 - 7:49 am

This has to go on a book, definitely! love the poem, it’s all true, as a wedding photographer you get to feel all these emotions through the lens, it’s like there’s a string from your shutter to your heart, every time you see a moment, your heart does a little skip, I’ve got it!! or did I? oh, what the heck, I know I got it!!LOL, it’s so exciting. I love weddings, photography is becoming emotionally part of your client’s beautiful day!!

Ian - October 20, 2011 - 2:53 pm

God! I love your work Parker. Amazing imagery, fantastic words your work is just so inspiring.

Paul Gero - September 23, 2011 - 4:22 pm

Simply beautiful Parker!

Susan Chancey - September 21, 2011 - 1:59 pm

Parker, I never cease to be amazed and inspired by your eye your shots and your true love of capturing every moment’s heartstrings. It’s always a gasp and a tear when I am compelled to visit your site and see your work.

BTW I am compelled to come her a lot! Rusty Clyde says Hi….and has a new sister named Jellybean Bonanza…she’s cute

Ashley Brokop - September 20, 2011 - 12:39 pm

beautiful. thank you for sharing, and so eloquently!!

G-Photo Design / Gary - September 10, 2011 - 12:02 pm

Mr. Pfister, you are so very real and honest and just happen to be an excellent photographer.

Hugo de la Morena - September 4, 2011 - 10:56 am

Wedding photography is not always only wedding photography, it´s something more subtle, like your vision and your work. You´re a master of it.

Parker J Pfister - August 30, 2011 - 9:17 am

I loved that gown! Beautiful. Let me know if you would like a print of one!

lynn - August 30, 2011 - 8:41 am

Thank you for sharing! I’m sure I’d have to put down the camera on such a hot day, but you captured the joy and love of this family and the beautiful bride. And of course we love how you photographed the bride’s Modern Trousseau gown, veil & sash!

The Gown Shop - August 29, 2011 - 3:11 pm

Parker,

The photos of Rachael & Peter’s wedding are absolutely phenomenal! Every detail you captured is breathtaking! I had the joy and pleasure of getting to know Rachael during her gown selection process and seeing her so happy in her gown and veil on the day of her wedding with Peter brought me to tears!

STUNNING!

Brilliant! Inspiring! Heart-Felt! Like a Hallmark Movie! A beautiful expression as seen through the eyes of the artist! Once again I have been reminded as to why I do what I do as an artist. That you Parker!

Jorge - August 25, 2011 - 2:27 pm

Beautiful, poetry in images and words. Thanks for opening your heart again about this beautiful pasion that we call wedding photography.

Kristin Vining - August 24, 2011 - 11:24 am

What a way to sum it all up! SPECTACULAR!! Absolutely SPECTACULAR!! xo

Michael D. Davis - August 24, 2011 - 10:49 am

Well put Parker. I would personally add one more sentiment to all those wonderful ones that you have penned here so eloquently. “Wedding photography is not the reason I photograph. The people I meet, and share with and whose special moments I help keep, is the reason I am a photographer”

Parker J Pfister - August 24, 2011 - 9:37 am

Wow thank you all for such beautiful words. Its crazy after all these years clicking that I still get all choked up by unfolding moments at weddings.

Aunt Penny - August 24, 2011 - 8:15 am

All so true.

Vicky - August 24, 2011 - 4:23 am

These images are stunning, and your words… perfect!

Kevin Lubera - August 23, 2011 - 9:04 pm

Love this post, Parker!

Rachel Shomsky - August 23, 2011 - 8:28 pm

Tears, you make me cry with your heartfelt words. Thank you for teaching us all.

Sally Watts - August 23, 2011 - 7:37 pm

Beautiful.
I particularly love the Wisdom frames.

uber photography - August 23, 2011 - 7:03 pm

Parker,
That is one of the most beautiful blog posts I have read. The sentiment expressed perfectly in the images. The story told and recorded for generations to come.

As everything else fades and diminishes the importance of these images will only continue to grow.

Thanks,
Chris

Denise - August 23, 2011 - 6:33 pm

Yes Parker. It’s all that. I knew I wanted to shoot weddings with Jerry when after our first one was a couple I’ve known for a long time. The groom his entire life! Once we loaded the images on the computer I cried like crazy. They were the most beautiful images I had ever seen.
