What a fun photo! Wendy captured this photo after a ceremony outside of White Memorial Chapel at Norwich University in Northfield, Vermont. I was doing images of the bride and groom and missed the moment. Wendy was wandering around doing candids as the crowd mingled outside the church. The flower girl and ring bearer were memorized by the constant stream of bubbles that were floating around. The flower girl reached up to touch a bubble, and the ring bearer is riveted. A bit of motion blur in the flower girls hand helps add to the movement of the photo. The final image was modified with a subtle painted quality.

I love this photo! I was doing posed photos of the groom and his groomsmen. My wife Wendy was behind me using a telephoto lens doing candids. We were all out on a pier at Shore Acres in North Hero, Vermont. At the end of the session, I picked up my tripod and started heading for the shore.  Right at that moment one of the onlookers yelled something funny at group.    The bride’s brother got down into a surfing pose and this got everyone laughing. I had missed the photo, as I was walking the other direction, but Wendy zoomed in and captured this split second moment. She tilted her camera which added to the movement of the photo. It is nice to capture tender feelings at a wedding, but these fun moments are just as important. There is always something very satisfying about being able to capture candid moments that no one else was able to capture.
