  • This was by far the best cake cutting photo in the bunch for me. I’d say it is pretty perfect—perfect angle to emphasize the cake, perfect light to highlight the couple, perfectly composed to show the couple and the cake, and a perfect moment between the two.
  • Ah hah! There it is! The tiniest speck of icing on the nose of your handsome groom. It’s a delightful moment of this lovely couple.
