Continuing in the Why I Like This Picture series, I’ll be going through the images on my website, commenting on what I like about each image along with some details of how the image came about.
And, why I like this picture is easy: true emotion evolving in a real moment is impossible not to like. You can’t fake this kind of stuff and you can’t tell someone to emote like this on cue. This is where the wait for it, wait for it, waaaaaait for it comes in to play.
This image was from Sara and Steph’s wedding a couple years back. The morning had a beautiful start – gorgeous sunshine falling down through the trees of Glen Echo Park in Clintonville. And then, about five minutes before ceremony start time, the clouds opened up and it proceeded to rain for the duration. Rain and rain and more rain. I’m glad my cameras are built like tanks. Waterproof tanks. So, at the point in the ceremony where rings were to be exchanged, I spotted this image – Steph wiping a raindrop from Sara’s face. It’s a beautiful, touching moment and the tenderness between them is palpable.
