Husband and wife — Lauren and Gareth's first kiss at Piersland House in Troon, framed by the tall windows with the venue's gardens in full colour behind them. The first kiss is the one photograph nobody forgives a photographer for missing, and it's over in about two seconds.
There's no trick to it beyond preparation. I've got my position sorted early, a clean line to the couple, exposure locked, and my full attention on the celebrant's words so I know exactly when it's coming. Then a short burst, and hope they linger — these two did.
What makes this frame for me is the light. Piersland's windows flood the room with soft daylight and open onto those beautiful gardens, so the whole scene glows without a flash anywhere near it.
