Good composition is best created when the photographer pays as much attention to negative space as he does positive. The subject of the photo tells the story, but it’s the space surrounding the subject that often sets the mood. Done properly, the negative space can become just as important as that great musical score filling the best scenes of your favorite movie. A look, a kiss, an embrace, and a smile, such can tell a story well… but capturing the enchanting mood of a special day like this is always the challenge and joy of the photographer.
