The photo I didn’t mean to take

I was trying to get the bride’s smile at the altar, but my lens caught her hand—shaking slightly—pressed against her brother’s sleeve. He wasn’t looking at her, just staring at the floor like he’d forgotten how to breathe. I didn’t even press the shutter. I just watched it happen. Later, when I reviewed the roll, I found it anyway. Not a good photo. Too soft, too quiet. But it’s the one I keep coming back to. The kind of moment that doesn’t want to be seen, but somehow needs to be.
