[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I was invited by a photographer friend of mine who was covering a wedding for me to be able to practice and improve on my skill. Unknowingly, when we arrived, I saw many of my relatives and the bride is a niece of mine. LOL.
During the wedding ceremony, I spotted the best man covering the candle as it was a bit windy. Keeping the candle lighted is symbolic. Reverend Amy Long explains:
This candle you are about to light is a candle of Marriage. Its fire is magical because it represents the
light of two people in love. This candle before you is a candle of Commitment because it takes two
people working together to keep it aflame. This candle is also a candle of Unity because both must
come together, giving a spark of themselves, to create the new light. As you light this candle today,
may the brightness of the flame shine throughout your lives. May it give you courage and reassurance
in darkness, warmth and safety in the cold, and strength and joy in your bodies, minds, and spirits.
May your union be forever blessed.

This is a magnificent shot, Konie. You've captured a nice moment. Great DOF.

Hi Konifacio,
Very nice shot, the shallow DoF f/2.8 really works well as the flame is in perfect focus, nice light and exposure too.
I like the composition and the inclusion of the mans profile.
Thanks,
b.
