The moments you know, those kind of things. I love it. Do you have a plan when you go in? Like, do you say, 'I want to try and get this type of a shot?' Or is it all a kind of an improvised dance for me after you get through so many weddings? All weddings have a certain flow to them, right? They obviously have a starting point, they have a middle point, and then they're dancing, then, which is the crescendo. For me, then, I'm gone. Whatever, so they all have like a beat. It's like a song for all the world, excuse me, there's a rhythm to them all, exactly. There's a rhythm, that's the word, exactly. I was looking for. There's a rhythm to them. So, yeah, you just go in, you just get immersed in it, throw yourself in there, just shoot. And for me, I love the natural moments more so than anything. Obviously, post photographs are important for the couple and family. Family portraits are very important as well. But I love, it's the moments, you know, it could be, I don't know, it could be a son fixing his dad's toy or those kind of things.
