The decisive moment.
Photographers call it the decisive moment: the fraction of a second when the action peaks and the frame holds together. Here are six, from the kinds of jobs we photograph. Fire the shutter on each one.

Why the timing matters.
- 01
It happens once.
The bouquet goes up once. The glasses meet once. A cap toss does not get a second take. The photograph is either there when it happens, or it is not.
- 02
Anticipate, then press.
By the time you see the peak, it has passed. Read the lead-up instead: the wind-up before the throw, the crouch before the jump, the lean before the toast. Press a beat early.

Tell us when it happens.
When you book, put the schedule in the request: the toasts, the toss, the first whistle. We confirm in writing what you’ll receive and when, and assign the photographer.
