For a newly married couple, the wedding day itself can be a blur. The nerves, the excitement, the rush of a life-changing celebration. Thats why the ever-present, artistic eye of the photographer becomes so important in capturing memories of the occasion.
To see what makes a great picture, we asked two veteran Los Angeles-area photographers to choose some of their favorite Jewish wedding images. David Miller of David Miller Studios (millerfolio.com) and Shimmy Lautman of Shimmy Photography of Encino (shimmyphotography.com) responded with images that convey love and beauty both in classic and unconventional ways. For couples preparing for a wedding and the photo album thats sure to follow these pictures offer inspiration. For the rest of us, well, they sure are nice to look at.

I sensed a certain conviction in the bride knowing that this was a special day. I sensed her happiness, even as she remains rather serious.

I like this shot because it represents something different about a couples closeness that theres an energy and friendship within the posture of closeness, even without seeing their facial expressions.
