I bet the bride fell in love with this shot the second she saw it! Excellent DOF control with beautiful, flattering, lighting.
On this particular shoot, her mother was here at the house. I already know that both of them were kind of "picky" and so I knew I had to "blow them away".
I had my camera hooked up to my projector. I was showing EVERYTHING I was shooting up on the wall. You should have heard the reactions!!! :-)
wow, how cute is this! a definite shift away from the "traditional" bridal photo, but i just adore the pose. i love how her face and hair are so sharp and that her ears and the flowers are only slightly blurred... i think it would be really distracting if they were more blurry. seems like you know what you're doing!
