Description

Was paid $160 to take photos of a couple who wanted a very low key wedding - They exchanged vows and 5 seconds after saying "I do!", they leapt into the abyss.

Unbelieveble capture Robb! My guess is the groom is just flat terrified! :-) This is perfect in b&w with great contrasts and tones! #1151150
