This shot was one I had in my head all night. The band was excellent with lovely shiny instruments and a really lively, upbeat tempo.

I noticed the bride take to the floor as one of her favourite songs was played so I got into position and waited for her to dance into view.

The final result was better than I had hoped for. The bride is obviously enjoying herself, the lead singer is belting out a note and the musician just happened to be in the perfect spot at the right time.

For me, the depth of field being shallow and making the bride and singer blurred adds to the effect. The focus is on the shiny trumpet but you can clearly make out what is happening in the background.

I was chuffed with this shot. Oh, and black and white suited the tones, lines and textures for me so I converted it. In fact I really like black and white for all wedding shots come to think of it!
