It must be my subject of the season that I return again to natural portraiture, almost as a Spring mantra. Initially there may be a contradictory call that this looks a little staged, after all, it’s not often that an ‘embrace photograph’ captures such an obvious ‘eyeballing,’ to use stark commentary. The bridesmaid reactions to the right of frame secure the photojournalist sense of shot for me. Having them there brings compositional context to this wedding photograph, though clearly a veil underlines sense of occasion. If I had to pick a favourite portrait from this Wasing Park wedding, it would be this. It’s a real; “He’s all mine” capture.
