Usually, this shot ends with the groom flying high, a playful photo where my style is famous for. But on this warm afternoon in the Italian countryside, something different happened. The bride looked at her new husband’s friends, grinned, and said, “My turn.” Before anyone could protest, she was already in the air, fearless, radiant, reaching toward the sky! The moment froze for a split second, the golden light, the laughter, the music in the background, and that’s when I pressed the shutter. It wasn’t just a photo of celebration. It was a photo of courage, joy, and love that quite literally lifted everyone’s spirits. And that’s the image that won me the award, thanks to a bride who dared to fly.
