A Penny for Your Thoughts | Image of the Week

I have chosen an image from the first wedding at which I was a photographer. When I decided to make the career change to wedding photographer it was very important to me that I could deliver a quality service for my clients so I spent time building experience second shooting for other photographers – serving an apprenticeship if you like. That first wedding was a nerve wracking experience and it did not help that I had not been too many weddings as I missed most of my friends weddings as I was usually away working at sea. It was a learning curve in more ways than one! However I loved the whole experience and soon realised that I had made the right decision in deciding to follow my heart and become a photographer.

This photograph was taken before the ceremony, just after the bride arrived. I like the way that the boy is framed by the bridesmaid, kilt of the brides dad and the brides bouquet as they prepared to enter the church. The expression on his face makes this photograph for me, I would love to know what he was thinking. What do you think?
