There is something to be said for the well posed, beautifully choreographed wedding photo.  The light is shining ever so softly over the couple’s shoulders as they kiss and all seems right in the world.  The wedding party perfectly walks in unison and cheers as the newly married couple kisses.  There is an element of control that I like… or if I’m more realistic….ehm… LOVE… about wedding and engagement photography.
