Royal wedding photographer Alex Lubomirski has opened up about just what went on behind-the-scenes of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s intimate official wedding portraits.
Lubomirski told the BBC that the most popular photo, the black and white image of Meghan leaning against Harry on the steps, was as a result of the couple’s pure exhaustion.
“It was just one of those magical moments when you’re a photographer and everything falls into place,” he recalls. “I said ‘just before you go in, sit on those stairs.’ And she just slumped between his legs and there was this moment where they were just laughing because they were exhausted and thinking finally it’s all over. It was one of these beautiful moments.”
Lubomirski added that Smarties were the secret to wrangling the multiple bridesmaids and page boys for the offiical family portraits, the ABC reports. “They were being bribed with one Smartie here, one Smartie there, so as soon as the kids came onto the set, I immediately just shouted out ‘Who likes Smarties?’ and then everybody, hands up, smiles, even some adults put their hands up,” he said.
