It's all about expressions, Moira.

I love the expressions, Moira.
One of my brothers had a long time relationship and when marriage was suggested he usually came up with something like, "one of these days!" Eventually, his girlfriend came up with an idea of convincing him that they should attend a friends marriage at the registry office when she'd actually booked their wedding.
It was fraught with danger as far as I was concerned and I was the official photographer. The look of bemusement on his face when I walked out a room with a camera around my neck will live with me for a long time. That was about thirty five years ago and they are still together.

Aaaaaw, that's tho thweet!
Thanks for the UA Leo, and thanks everyone.
I originally started with a view of Ziard alone. But then I remembered Danny Brannigan's wise words years ago, 'Nobody but his Mum is interested in what the groom looks like...'
And thanks Ollie!
Oh and Ken, I hope there are children and grandchildren to tell that story to!
The bride's father daring the groom to be anything other than all smiles and forgiving for his daughter's tardiness...
Very good. The faces tell lots of stories 
Expressions...
I'm seeing 'You're angry with me, aren't you...' 'It's OK but you'd better not do that to me again'.

Superb set
Every expressions are telling different words...
Looking at her facial expression, especially in the lead, it looks to me as if she was having second thoughts about going through with it...😁 A couple of great shots of the event though, Moira 👍

I thought the same....Don't think Dad is too keen on the idea either😂

Don't worry folks, it was an a wonderfully happy day. Every bride is entitled to nerves, and Karen does nerves in spades. But the problem was that she had just spent half an hour wiping off £50 worth of professional makeup that looked as though it had been laid on with a plasterer's trowel.
And thanks everyone.

A thought-provoking pair of photos given the photo offered first; I didn't see there was a Version 1 until I looked at the text. My mind had immediately gone to the default 'bride doesn't look too happy about this and neither does the imminent father-in-law (this says more about me rather than the photographer)! Version 1 of course shows the happy bride and brilliantly displays what mood or expression can be conveyed in the space of a few seconds - and how that might be used. I guess that wedding photos are not usually shown singly and the happy shots would appear first with those that reveal the candid moments and tensions afterwards. As always, Moira, your photos are never just photos to look at, they draw you in and, I suspect, had the second one been placed first, it might not have had the same effect - notwithstanding the quality of both shots. Very well presented.
Thanks Alfie for the UA, and thanks for the very thoughtful comment. The beauty of stills photography is that it freezes the moment with all its unanswered questions and leaves the imagination free to fill in the gaps.
Wedding photography for me is about capturing real moments, not artificially contrived ones. I loathe the idea of the wedding-as-a-fashion-shoot. I think the story of Karen's late arrival will run for quite a long time...

And thanks to Mara for adding a US here!
