  • With every wedding, there is a sense of joy, but this image possesses out and out laughter. It appears everyone is watching something and I guess it was pretty funny and they broke into laughter. Catching a quick instantaneous moment like this can be difficult; usually the composition can get messy but not in this case. A quick-thinking photographer caught this funny moment and kept the composition well-organized, and we are given a joyous moment.
