Can't you just feel the tenderness in this shot? Doesn't it make you sigh, or even tear up a bit?
Traditional wedding photography used to mean posed portraits, posed couple shots, posed group shots, everyone smiling into the lens. There is still a place for such pictures. It's nice to see everyone all arrayed, it will be good as the years go by to be able to find your best friend from college, your favorite aunt, your old workmate.
But it's also good to capture other elements of the day. This one capture an emotion, and captures it beautifully. Tenderness, love, sincerity, union: all these and more are encompassed in this quiet pose. This is not just a picture of a couple, it's a picture of a relationship. It's also nice to see a photograph that features the groom so thoroughly.
Thank you to Red Leaf Studios for sharing this breath-taking picture.
