real candid

I photograph weddings and while I like the "money shots" (i.e. the dress, first kiss, perfect group portraits, a tear in the FOB's eye) what I like best is going back to the files later and finding the frames that have stunning compositions and/or unusual elements. Most couples say they want candid photographs, some say they want ALL candids, when in fact they want are "contemporary portraits" and the real candids are rarely, if ever, selected from the proofs.

Here are two I like. I call this one Bride Descending an Ornate Staircase

and this one Lucky Penny
