Good photojournalists incorporate their environment well. There is little time to plan. Nothing is added to the scene. We arrive. We evaluate. We act. There is little control over what we encounter. We learn to see and use what is given. We are the photographic equivalent of survivors. We adapt and act with decisiveness. This was a great scene and a chance to make a wonderful portrait. Congrats. Exquisite quality, simple and elegant.

It was difficult to choose between relatively equal images. There is a lighthearted quality to this image reflected by the photographer's lens choice and centered composition which has an irresistible feel. It is a fun image. I suspect the photographer was enjoying it as much as the bride and groom.
