Natural Light Wedding Portrait

My cousin got married the weekend. I was not the paid photographer but I captured this among others.

Question - were they posing just for you here or you took this to the side while the pro had them posed? Just curious..

Opportunistic shot is what it can be summed up as. Paid photographer was somewhere camera right.

Why does that really matter?

It does. Getting exposure right is easy, just set it on P mode and you have it. This type of picture is ALL about the posing. If someone else set it up, we should be giving props to them.

Someone paints a beautiful picture, and you take a picture of you, should you be credited for such a great piece of art? I know it is exaggerated, but it is the same.

Beautiful image. I love it.

It seems to me that the front of the brief case is out of focus- and I think that this part is key in the composition of the photo. Shoot be shot less shallow.

Sharpening it up will be no problem. Not much sharpening done to this image.

huh ?

Care to explain how "P" mode gets it right ? It may make a better guess than auto but getting it right ? Wouldn't say that P mode is going to solve anything.

To the OP , nicely done , love the shot.
