The Cake Tumble (almost) - Why I Love this Wedding Photo

Today's Why I Love this Wedding Photo extract is from Scott and Alison's amazing Bucks Wedding last year.

On several occasions over my 12-year wedding photography career, the wedding planner or venue manager has informed me that we will do a "mock cutting of the cake so you can get some nice pictures."

Each time I reply with the same thing; "It's OK, I'll photograph it in real-time as the couple cut the cake".

I have no idea why a staged cutting of the cake is a still a "thing", it is always better in my mind, as a documentary wedding photographer, to shoot it as it happens.

It most cases, everything goes to plan, of course, but in some cases, a little helping in hand is needed.

Or two hands, as was the case for Scott and Allison whose cake would have been toast without those hands.

I hope you like this wedding picture.  I do.

It is a little humorous, but if you have spent time looking through my work, you will know that I thrive on emotion and humour at weddings.

After all, isn't that what it is all about?
