I love this image! It was one of those unplanned moments and compositions that is so beautiful that it looks like it was set up. In fact, It was so unplanned I wasn’t even there when it was taken. My 2nd shooter/wife snatched this image while I was busy shooting the bridal party and family finishing the recessional. By the time I was done, I had completely lost the couple! Fortunately, Anna was on the job.
Here’s the scene. The couple walked up some stairs and down this street to loop back around to the ceremony site. I was standing around with the family looking dumbfounded because I have never lost a couple before. All the while, Anna was being a complete ninja -hiding in the bushes and shooting a moment that would have otherwise been missed. This shot reminds me just how valuable it is for me to have a well trained 2nd shooter. It is impossible for me to be in two places at once and that is why my 2nd shooter must be like ‘The Ninja’.
Anyone have some “2nd shooter work” that they would like to brag and share? (email me) cameron@cameroningalls.com
