My heart is yearning to thee, O Skye!

Skipping through Twitter as one does, I came across a Rock My Wedding tweet about the wedding of Becca & Sam on the beautiful Isle of Skye. Photographers Tub of Jelly produced a wonderful set of photographs capturing both the connection between the couple and the atmosphere of Skye. The photograph above led to one of those "Why do I love this so much?" moments, that I often find myself wrestling with. Firstly, I love the light and the way that he's holding her. Also the fact that they are looking up into the camera, letting the viewer into their happiness. Look at the difference in their smiles, Sam open and proclaiming, Becca closed and contented. The blurry brown, green and yellow of the Skye background add a rugged beauty to the picture that pushes the couple forwards. I love the angle of Becca's head and her  windswept, heather adorned hair covering her right eye. This allows her left eye to claim the dead centre of the frame and engage directly with the viewer who can't help but be drawn in. 

After all my technical and aesthetic considerations have been made, it is, at its most simple, a photograph of two people who are very much in love.
