Canadian Marriage, a photo from Ontario, Central

Photographer's Note

When travelling the globe I'm sure there are many types of traditions and ways to celebrate marriage.
Here in Cananda, it is rare that a dance does NOT follow a wedding ceremony. This was the dance.
This couple were married in a small theater and I took this photo from the balcony above.
I was honoured to be the guest at such a lavish event.
The decoration was of an autumn theme and the mood was very medival.
It was fabulous.

I like the monochrome effects and the blur of the area and other subjects around them - creates a dreamy effect like they are travelling through time together, which is I guess what they are about to do ...

Loely composition and effect shows intimaciy between the couple even in the middle of a party.

Hi kelley.
You have done a great job on this one.
I agree with what carlo and osmarg have said.
The position of your couple in the photo is also very good, you have left space in the picture for them to move into.
Regards
Carmelo

Excellent composition. I love how you leave only the couple in focus and how you capture the movement. The B&W is also a great choice.
