    The baby sleeping soundly in mother’s arm. Both reveal beautiful expressions. 🙂

    I do like the angle you took, is it a candid shot?

      Thanks.

      Yes, they were waiting for the ceremony I think, and I took the photo as I was walking past. She never noticed me, let alone the fact I took a photo.
