Husband and wife — the first kiss in the Fairfield Suite at Fairfield House Hotel in Ayr, with the whole room on their feet around them.
I shoot the first kiss slightly wide rather than tight, and this frame shows why: the applauding guests, the bridesmaids in blue, the groomsmen in tartan, the flowers and candles either side. Crop in too close and you lose the room that everyone worked so hard to fill.
Timing is everything here. I listen to the celebrant rather than watch through the viewfinder, so I know the words that come immediately before "you may kiss." By the time it's said, I've already got my exposure locked and my position sorted.
Fairfield's ceremony room has good, even light and enough space at the back to work without getting in anyone's way.
