style in wedding photography - anticipation and timing
I'm sure every photographer has this experience, where your shutter trips, and you just know you have the shot. Something that you see - whether anticipated or just lucky timing - and you capture it. This is how I felt when I captured this moment between Marie and Andrew at their wedding this weekend. I got it! A bit of background to this image: During a Catholic wedding service, there is a short time after the exchange of vows and rings, where the couple are seated again for the Mass.

At this point I know at least i have "correct exposure". I would either choose to over expose and under expose depend on circumstances.
