“These are the standard shots,” Carolyn said. “Everything you’ve already seen in the proofs.” She opened a second folder. “This is where I found it. I was editing a candid shot taken about two hours before the ceremony — guests arriving, atmosphere shots near the back of the garden. The light was good along the back wall.” She clicked to the image.
It took Ray a moment to see it. The foreground was a couple he recognized, guests laughing at something off camera, champagne glasses catching the afternoon light. An ordinary moment from an ordinary wedding. But in the background, half obscured by the wide trunk of an olive tree along the garden wall, two figures. Partially hidden, which was clearly the intention.
