I was invited to this wedding and wanted to take pictures for the couple since they were operating on a shoestring. I was not the "official" photographer but I did end up in the perfect position to capture this moment. I knew as soon as the bride raised her arms, this was going to be a great shot for them.Editing
Very minor cropping and color correction. I try to do as little as possible to the image because my approach is to capture that moment in time as carefully as possible.In my camera bag
Canon T2i, 70-300mm lens, kit lens, macro lens, couple of rarely used filters, microfiber lens wipes, business cards, collapsible hood, and rain cover.Feedback
It's one thing to be in the moment but it is also important to anticipate the moment as well. Observe carefully through the camera and be ready to take 30 to 3000 pictures to capture that one thing.
