One of my favorite things to do during a wedding is simply have the bride and groom walk away from me and then back towards me. It's a fast way to get candid shots. Most often the couple feels a little silly creating 'action' for the camera that they relax and smile because they are focused on the walking motion. In some cases, they even surprise you by running! I like to do this against a simple background or path. In the two samples above you'll see the wooded path and the couple walking away....I like this shot a lot & it seems to take on the classic metaphor....walking down the path of life. For the second shot, I was basically laying on the grass to get a nice low shot with the open foreground. This worked much better than if I would have been standing since we didn't have the expanse of sky to work with. The grass becomes the calm blank spot in the photo.
