Lucky shot?

Granddad · May 21, 2016

This one is from the first wedding I shot 3 or 4 years ago - it was a budget wedding for the son of a good friend so I agreed to do it as my wedding present.
This shot wasn't planned, it was as the couple was driven up to the church in a vintage car (she's Finnish so the couple arriving together is their tradition) I found it when I was going through my shots and loved the symbolism. The reflected woman between the couple is the groom's mother and the reflected woman behind is the bride's mother; we were all waiting for them in front of the church.

Love it, wonderful and timely accident. That should be cherished forever. I would make a B & W with a little bumped up clarity as well.

I'm not a fan of converting to black & White as often as it's done but I think in this case the color is not a significant componant so agree that conversión would be good.

Awesome catch. Talk about timing.......

It's not luck, it's never luck, it's SKILL!

GD, if it weren't for luck, none of us would be in this game! :lol:

That's a very nice accidental timed shot! Love it.

Really cool timing! I love it.

Thanks guys, I liked the idea of B&W so I gave it a go (bumping the clarity as suggested by jc) and re-cropped to show a bit more of the vehicle and to bring the bride's eyes to the upper right rule of thirds point. I'm also including a full shot of the vehicle for those who like that kind of thing ... I don't have a clue what make and model it is!
