Mother of the Groom (Esperanza), and her sister Betsy shared this special moment in church last April. There was no Father of the Groom present, making this moment all the more poignant. The crop was deliberate, as this moment was all about the hands, rather than faces. Hands form a large part of my work, as well as the more obvious 'faces', as they provide the physical connection that helps the viewer read the image. The couple, Aisling & Matthew went on to have an amazing moment filled wedding day at South Farm, but this was the highlight for me. Esperanza contacted me afterwards, personally thanking me for capturing this, as it perfectly reflects how close they are as sisters.
