On the Way to the Wedding

It’s practically a given that something will go awry during a wedding, and that was certainly the case for this bride-to-be’s big day. As she was on her way to the first look session, she found out the groom accidentally left the alcohol, groomsmen gifts and marriage license in the car at the hotel. Fortunately, she was able to collect all of the forgotten items and as she waited for one of the bridesmaids to come pick her up, she took a moment to call the wedding planner and breathe a sigh of relief. That’s when photographers Destany and Mitch Colagrossi of The Colagrossis captured this photo.

“We approach wedding photography photojournalistically, so sticking with the bride through thick and thin, and documenting her journey is what we always hope to do,” Destany says. “This was one of those ‘right place, right time’ images where I just happened to be standing in front of her as she leaned against the car. Call it fate, call it Cartier-Bresson.”

(Captured using a Nikon D750 with a 35mm f/1.4 lens.)
