Photographer's Comment

Looking to the light is the first step to finding the moments that tell the story. The bride gets herself ready to walk down the aisle as she listens to words of wisdom of her aunt. I exposed for the window light and waited for the connection between the two women. For me it is all about love and how we find ways to show it.
