I thought I had commented on this shot already, its in my favs. In fact when people come over and I show them my photos and Dpchallenge and I show them my favorite shots, I always show them this one. It just makes me smile and brings such a comically honest portrait to what can be a generic style of photography. It has brought the elements and honesty of street photography into a wedding day atmosphere. superb.
Definitely one of the best wedding photographs I"ve seen. No misty moments, with a white veil in diffused soft focus. No close ups, of the groom putting the ring on his bride's finger. Naaa...just gritty, tell-it-like-it-is reality. This is more "photojournalism", than traditional wedding photography, and I absolutely love it.
This is too wonderful for words. HA HA HA Great image. Love the cigarette and the "do I have to hold this bouquet" stance she has. Hilarious. The cinder blocks behind her make for nice texture.
