“I rely on my instincts to be at the right place at the right time, my eye to see the composition, my soul to envision the meaning and possibility, mind to read the light, and my experience to do it well every time.  These are the intangibles of good photography – instinct, an eye, soul, a technical mind, and years of experience.  These are not things that can be itemized in a photography package – but they are the most important elements of wedding photography that will stand the test of time.” –Ira Lippke
