  • Great, great photo!!! With so much manufactured emotions in wedding photography going on, this is as real as it gets. Photographer stepped back and gave the couple some space, and at the same time it gives the photo a sense of peeking in at an otherwise private moment. Great photo! We can see the couple trusts their photographer. We also loved that there's a hint of blur. It adds to the sense of "this is just happening."
