Tammy Watson Photography's  WORK FEATURED AS AN OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE OF SAME-SEX WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY IN FIRST-OF-ITS KIND BOOK, “CAPTURING LOVE: THE ART OF LESBIAN & GAY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY”

Tammy Watson Photography, Williams Lake, BC - January 27, 2013. When it comes to wedding portraits, what works for heterosexual couples may not work for same-sex couples. Enter Capturing Love: The Art of Lesbian & Gay Wedding Photography, a groundbreaking new visual guide by veteran wedding photographer Thea Dodds of Authentic Eye Photography, and same-sex wedding pioneer Kathryn Hamm ofGayWeddings.com, available from Authentic Weddings in limited release via Lulu.com and in nationwide release in March 2013. Capturing Lovefeatures captivating photographs of forty-six couples from thirty-eight of the top gay and lesbian wedding photographers who represent 19 states, Canada, Italy and the U.K, including Tammy Watson of Williams Lake, BC.

Through diverse examples of unconventional wedding portraits and new twists on conventional wedding imagery, as well as detailed commentary from the authors, the book provides needed support to wedding photographers who must revisit the rules of traditional wedding and engagement portrait posing to better serve all couples in today’s diverse wedding market.

Said Hamm: “Capturing Love would not have been possible without the generous contributions and talents of the many photographers who were willing to share their work with us. We are incredibly grateful to Tammy Watson for joining us on this special journey and thrilled to showcase her work. We hope Capturing Love inspires every photographer shooting a same-sex wedding to think outside the box, and to create photos that truly capture the one-of-a-kind magic present at each couple’s wedding day.”

Said Dodds: “The image of Tammy WatsonPhotography we selected was culled from amongst thousands of candidates. But Tammy's represented beautifully the answer to three simple but important questions: Are these images authentic? Do these images reflect intimacy? Are these images believable? For any couple–straight or gay–an engagement or wedding portrait should elicit a ‘yes’ to all three questions, as Tammy Watson's photograph did. That combination of authenticity, intimacy, and believability will be different for every couple, and the wide range of photos of same-sex couples in Capturing Love illustrates just how diverse wedding portraiture can, and should, be.”

Said Tammy Watson: "...thrilled to be included with amazing artists sharing their captures of great love stories”
