Let me start this rant by first saying that I really like this photo. Mostly because I really like Shea and Kevin, the way they dressed, how much they love each other, and how happy they are. However, coming from a purely artistic and creative sense, I am way over-tired of brick backgrounds.
We were shooting in Olde Towne Portsmouth, and if you've ever been there you know that finding a non-brick building is rare. Olde Townes are like that.
I guess it's because I've just seen so many brick backgrounds for everything from head shots to band photos to bridal portraits, that it just seems "Stock". Don't get me wrong, sometimes brick is the right texture for the job, and sometimes the client insists on it.
When we finished this location, we walked 15 feet and changed angles and got this shot. Totally different feel, and a lot more exciting.
I'll continue shooting photos up against brick walls, because sometimes that what I have to do. There are so many other textures that I'll try first though.
