Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good!
I was photographing Alex & Daniel's tea ceremony at the Eglinton Grand in Toronto and was lying down on the floor to get a different angle since I really strive to give my wedding clients as many different perspectives as possible. Even though I photograph most weddings myself, couples are always amazed at the different perspectives I manage to capture.... many times, they'll look at their pictures and tell me they had no idea I was even there!
After getting a few pictures, okay stuff but nothing great, I was just getting up when a late arriving guest (with those amazing red shoes!) walked right in from (and overtop) of me perfectly framing Alex & Daniel as they presented their parents a ceremonial glass of tea.
(This is the first in a new series on the blog where I give the story behind some of my favourite wedding photographs. Enjoy, and would love to hear your thoughts in the comments!)
