Matthew Gordon Photographer

I don’t know if I realized this before tonight or if tonight was just a reminder… the reason I love what I do:  It’s all about the end.  I do like the busyness, the emotion, the anticipation, the challenge of weddings, but showing off the images when they’re done, THAT is what drives me to be a photographer.

Tonight Alissa and Aaron came over (they brought their parents too) and I showed them a slideshow of their wedding.   Of course I’ve already seen all of the images, so now is my chance to watch the expressions of the couple/parents/whoever  watch what I created for them for the first time.

I don’t have words to express what it means to me.

This is an image from Alissa and Aaron’s wedding,  I can’t wait to have a little more time to post more of them!!!!

Meet Alison and Kristina,  twins!

It was actually a challenge shooting twins,  of course they wanted some pictures together, and that’s easy.  The hard part was capturing the differences in the two of them, keeping their pictures looking similar, but showing who they are apart from each other.  When they came back to my studio to view their pictures,  their mom’s reaction to the slideshow showed that I got it!!  Alison and Kristina were bouncing up and down excited, their mom had tears streaming down her face…   this is why I. LOVE. MY. JOB.

The following are just a few of our favorites:

We started off shooting with their horse, George.

Yes I’m a horrible blogger!   I’ve been very busy with shoots this year and our new baby kinda sucked up any extra time to blog.   I’ve got lot’s of portrait sessions and close to 20 weddings that I’ve shot and haven’t blogged this year yet…

I plan on getting to most of them this fall, probably starting in October.  In the mean time,  I’m going to post a couple seniors that requested I post them
