The laughing couple | Behind the image
I love this image, this particular wedding has got to be one of the funniest I’ve worked. Both bride and groom were amazing to work alongside.
They seemed like they wanted a fun day. It was not as much about capturing them laughing, the day was full of laughter. But this particular time was very poignant as it was captured during a very funny speech by their son. The relief that the day was drawing to a close and there was just the festivities to enjoy showed as their smiles broadened.
The fact the groom was looking straight down my lens, noticing i was their to capture the moment, made the image that little more personal to the viewer. The bride lowering her head with a little embarrassment too just told the story of not only the speeches but of such a wonderful day they had.
Black and White tones again set the image off as it draws the viewer to both character’s, the texture of the bride hair and the darkness of the groom tie grabs your eye and pulls it into the image.
