Penn State wedding photo

I caught the light on this photo as we were walking away from Old Main. I think the spontaneity of the shot stands out. I overexposed by a stop in order to catch the light in the shadows, but I was lucky that the bell tower of Old Main didn't get washed out. More about my campus wedding photography here.
