Photographer's Comment

The cake decorator used brown sugar to resemble sand on the cake table at this beach wedding. But during the lengthy toasts, the children couldn't help but 'play in the sand' while their parents were pre-occupied. Sometimes the best moments are the secondary ones that are happening just beyond center stage. The key to great photography is seeing and capturing all sides of the story.

  • COMMENTS: There were numerous images of kids waiting upon the cake but this one was the best of the best in my opinion. It has great light and composition combined with a fun moment. I love how the kids have not waited for the cake to be cut. Somehow they found out that the sand was edible and dug in. Great representation of boys being boys!
