The Money Shot!
Posted on March 8, 2010
I had the pleasure of photographing Deb and Bernard’s wedding in Montreal, Quebec in July 2009. One of the unique thing about this wedding is the releasing of the doves following the wedding ceremony. While everyone was getting excited over the birds, mingling, talking, and crowding around, I stationed myself firmly in the flight path of the birds. The owner of the doves informed me in which direction the birds will fly once they are released, and I was in the right spot.
I adjusted my camera settings, pre-focussed, waited patiently, and fired some quick burst shots. I was really happy that I managed to capture this shot. The bird in flight with a full wing span and the reaction from the bride, is priceless! This is definitely a money shot!
