Insight / On the Cover by Bill Hurter

Weddings, weddings, weddings. Welcome to our annual wedding issue in which we celebrate nuptial extravagance and beauty. Honestly, this is our favorite issue of the year, and apparently it is the favorite issue of our advertisers as well, as this is the biggest issue of Rangefinder in our 53-year history! To help us celebrate the art of wedding photography we have called on some of the finest wedding photographers in the world, starting with Yervant Zanazanian, known simply as Yervant. An Australian, Yervant is a true master photographer, displaying the ultimate in creativity and elegance. Yervant is sought after the world over for his unique style and reputation. Fellow Australian master photographer, David Williams, is the author of our profile on Yervant (pg. 8). Charles Maring is a well known and in-demand wedding photographer who has built his considerable reputation by designing the “world-class album.” He has even gone so far as to start his own in-house lab in order to meet his exacting standards (pg. 66). California wedding photographer Joe Photo recently photographed what many would call the wedding of the decade—a two-week long affair through Europe that called for five designer gowns and 5000 pictures. It was truly the “Dream Wedding” (pg. 22). Marcus Bell has been Australia’s Wedding Photographer of the Year as well as that country’s Landscape Photographer of the Year. Marcus is a premiere storyteller and his visual narratives will amaze you (pg. 36). Also this month we feature Claude Jodoin’s “The Art of the Digital Wedding” (pg. 90); profiles on Jerry Ghionis, Steven Gross and Calvin Hayes; Robyn Hills on the engagement portrait; Zohrab Markarian, “Photographer of Kings”; Clay Blackmore’s beautiful infrared studio brides; Sara Frances on the Epson Gemini workflow and much, much more. Enjoy!

Comments: I was looking for a simple, spontaneous moment between husband and wife against a bold and contemporary background. I believe the setting of a wedding image is just as important as the moment captured. I’d like to think that my pictures work as landscape and wedding imagery.

Jerry Ghionis and his wife Georgina co-own and operate XSiGHT Photography & Video, two state-of-the-art studio locations in Melbourne, Australia. Jerry’s main studio, which is shown on page 64, features a cinema room for sales and presentations, a world-class computer lab and a beautiful walk-up gallery.

For more information on Jerry Ghionis and XSiGHT, see the article by Linda May on page 60.
