While this shot is not technically perfect....
the mood is...
When faced with imperfect conditions,
light-wise,
it is best, I've found to "shoot from the hip"
in other words,
go with your gut.
The minister had just pronounced them
Man and Wife,
and told the groom he could kiss his new spouse.....
This is not a time to hesitate.
The look of joy transcends
any and all photographic short comings.
Even the look on the bridesmaid's face is priceless.
Never will any of these people feel exactly the way they did
on this very moment.
Shoot!
Shoot!
Shoot!
As fast as the camera would let me....
and the film...
as this was a wedding shot on a variety of
films,
both manufacturer, color, B/W and speeds...
No Photoshop.
Only tweaking in the processing and developing.
Primitive...
Exasperating....
Spontaneous....
and in the end...
wonderful...
smiles.
