Kids at weddings often do the most amazing things. It’s part of my job as the wedding photographer to be there to capture those moments.
This weekend, I shot a wedding down at The Grand Hotel, Brighton. I don’t normally publish images before the complete wedding is edited, but on this occasion I’m making an exception.
This little girl was the bridesmaid, and before the wedding I could really get a sense of her excitement growing before it was “her” big moment to walk down the aisle.
Prior to that, she stopped, and had a little pray. Now, I have no idea whether it was a “play pray” or a real pray – it makes no difference to the essence of the image really.
I was a nice moment, and I enjoyed making a picture out of it.
Kids at weddings, as mentioned, can be very engaging and offer a wealth of subject focus for a documentary wedding photographer like me. You may wish to check out a photo film I did call The Little Things about this very subject. It’s a few years old now, but, well…. you’ll get the gist.
Technical Details:
- Camera: Fujifilm X-T1
- Lens: XF56mm F/1.2
- Focal Length: 56mm
- ISO: 800
- Exposure: 1/200th second at f/1.2
- Flash: Did not fire
What a perfect moment -I bet the bride and groom absolutely adore this picture, and rightly so!
Great picture!
8000 ISO is a typo or was it really 8000?
Ooops. 800. Sorry I have very fat fingers 🙂
Ha ha, brilliant.
Not normally a fan of shots up the nostrils, but for this one I’d make a definite exception 🙂
Wonderfully captured! I like it, despite the nostrils, similar as Ian said.
I’ll have to look into your blog more: Are you shooting all wedding photos with the Fuji X-T1?
a perfect moment, and much more for a child, I love the picture!, very nice shot 🙂
Made me laugh. Brilliant capture kevin.
