Why I Love this Wedding Photograph

Mum Crack's Open the Bubbly

From a Wedding at The Rosevine, Devon

For today's feature image, I am taking you back to 2013 and a wonderful wedding at The Rosevine, Cornwall.

I've been photographing weddings full time for 13 years now, and I love digging into the archives and revisiting some of my favourite documentary wedding photography images from the past.

This image always reminds me of this lovely wedding at The Rosevine, a beutiful hotel right on the beach.

Mum has many roles at a wedding. Of course, she is there to offer support, look marvellous, hold hands and wipe tears.

But she's often also tasked with opening the champagne during the pre-wedding festivities.

I love this wedding photograph on so many levels. The extreme effort on mums face (she managed it in the end) and the split composition make this one of my all-time favourites from this wedding.

I hope you like it too.

This post is part of my Why I Love this Wedding Picture series, where I describe why I, as the photographer, love a particular image or series of photographs.
