Tears of Joy

Saint Louis Hotel, French Quarter, New Orleans, Louisiana

I happened to be in the stairwell as my cousin and his new wife ascended it after the ceremony. (Yes, I had been taking amateur photos from the second floor balcony during the ceremony.) Within seconds, my cousin's daughter ran after them in tears crying that she was "so happy". The photographer was nowhere around, and I had no time to adjust the settings on my camera, but it was too perfect of a moment too miss. And thus, a new family is made.

Canon PowerShot G9
1/60s f/2.8 at 7.4mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Perfect capture Dana! I'll bet they will cherish this forever. I wish someone could have caught the moment at our wedding when we had Rikie and Jeremy's sister holding the chapel doors for us, each with a 3-week old baby in their arms.

Amazing shot again. I'm voting. Because it is worthy. This is your cousin's ready made daughter and his new wife is the step mother?

That's what a good photographer does...is there for those perfect moments. Where the heck was the guy or gal? You did an awesome job, Dana. They should have hired you for the job! Beautiful image!
