The Comforting Arm
Why I Love this Wedding Photograph
From a Wedding at St. Stephen’s Trust on Rosslyn Hill, Hampstead
Today’s image is from the Wedding of Kelly and Joe that I photographed four years ago. They had a lovely Wedding at St. Stephen’s Trust with a small and intimate celebration.
Regular readers of my Journal will know that I like to post full Wedding Stories and individual snippet posts where I describe why I love particular photographs.
In this case, we can see the emotional Kelly being offered a comforting arm by Joe when they are exchanging vows.
I’m a Documentary Wedding Photographer, which means it’s essential for me to ensure no moments are staged or contrived. And you can’t direct such a moment between people who are about to commit to spending the rest of their lives together.
I love the love in this photograph. From the touching arm, the hidden tears to the smile on Joe’s face.
It was a wonderful moment that I’m pleased I captured for them on their Wedding Day.
