Over The Shoulder

Posted by {H} creatives (San Francisco Bay Area, United States) on 24 May 2007 in People & Portraits and Portfolio.

I caught this during a wedding while the bride just happened to look over her shoulder. It was an outdoor wedding at a vineyard in the northern part of the Bay Area.

That's just beautiful...great catch! How do you get the face to focus so nice and blurry around the rest of the picture?

The face expression is marvellously captured: this is how she must feel on this unique day: happy, but also a under pressure, trying to hide it with a broad smile. Great, just the right moment for the next 1/10 of a second it's over.

@Erik: You're right Erik, weddings are such mystery, aren't they? Happiness, joy, sadness, joy, laughter, stress, relief, guffaws, chuckles, smiles...all mixed into one.
