Denson Wedding Photography's Favorite Photos of 2017 11

I've been sitting here thinking, asking myself why I wanted this photo on my list of favorites this year. As I was going through my folder where the candidates were, I continually kept coming back to this one. I knew I wanted it in the pile. I knew I wanted it on the list. I knew I wanted to put it up on my blog as a favorite... My problem was that I simply did not know WHY I wanted it. You could say that Greg being in the service must have drawn my attention and that I must have thought it was good PR to have someone on the list in uniform. But that couldn't be further from the truth. So I sat here. And I stared at his photo. I moved on to easier posts and wrote them. Yet I always came back to this photo. Then as if someone unfurled a sheet from in front of my eyes, I realized what it was. I was not drawn to this photo because of his uniform, but almost in spite of it. I was drawn to this photo because of his eyes. I was drawn in because I saw a man trying desperately to be brave, while still feeling all the fantastically natural feelings of nervousness, anxiety, and expectation just before a wedding. I love this photo because underneath everything, it shows Greg in that one moment in time. Simply Greg. 

From the Beaches of North Carolina, I hope you enjoy!
