Hand in hand, straight back up the aisle, grinning at everyone they pass — the moment a couple stops being nervous and starts being married.
This is one of my favourite frames of any wedding because it's the first properly relaxed photograph of the day. Every bit of tension from the morning has gone, and what's left is pure relief and joy.
I shoot it from the back of the room, low, wide enough to hold both the couple and the guests reacting on either side. Guests reaching out, phones down, faces lit up — that's the context that makes the picture.
Then it's out into the Fairfield's gardens for the congratulations, and the day changes gear entirely.
