Inspired by the little moments that make up the big picture, San Francisco wedding photographer Sophie Berard says her approach to wedding coverage is intentional and photojournalistic, with a hint of cinema. And for this portrait of a ring bearer, capturing his calmness was key for Berard.

“This was taken during the toasts, where this sweet ring bearer was just hanging out amidst the chaos that was breaking out around him,” Berard explains. “I can’t recall what the entire room was discussing but amidst all of it his gaze really cut through the atmosphere and made for one of my favorite images to date.”
