I have learned that what you see and what you record, can be two completely different disciplines in wedding photography. Prior to having children myself I may have seen this image as ‘hug from auntie meets a little reticence from niece.’ But now I see unreserved love and compassion – and I mean that in a genuine sense as a parent. Much of my time during a ceremony is spent looking for emotional connections and that doesn’t just emanate from a bride and groom. This is one such classic example. Look past the ceremony table and you’ll see it unfold, row by row.

Well said. Well shot. Enough said…

Great shot and great explanation. Really loving your 365 series Neale and your insights into documentary and reportage wedding photography.
Many thanks for the comments, glad that the 365 is proving useful. It’s a cathartic process, going through the back catalogue!
