From Carena & Max’s magical wedding last summer 🩵 by @careymacarthur

“...Weddings were magic and they were terrifying, each one an epic playground of chaos and joy. They required me to learn how to play my instrument to the best of my ability. I needed an arsenal of techniques to rely on. I needed speed. I needed to be able to feel my way through the music of the day. It was a grueling learning process but I thrived under the onslaught of intensity. The photos were my sweet reward.” — From ‘Origins, or, the making of a fine art wedding photographer’ on my Journal. by @careymacarthur

$I also started to think about how memory, dreams and ultimately photography are really very similar. Catching dreams is like catching fish, it takes time and patience and they're easily scared away. When you wake from a dream, you're lucky to bring back a few complete scenes, more often you come back with fragments of images you can't fully grasp. We think of photographs as complete memories. A good photograph has the ability to take you immediately back to a place and time, it's like a key that unlocks a door in your mind and the feeling floods back in. But photographs are recorded in fractions of seconds. When I photograph a scene, no matter how many photos I take, all I'm able to bring back are mere slivers of what was and if I'm lucky I can make some small sense of where I felt called to point the camera. — An excerpt from "Dream Weaving and How It Inspires Your Wedding Photography" — on the journal, link in bio. by @careymacarthur$
