Posted by {H} creatives (San Francisco Bay Area, United States) on 23 June 2007 in People & Portraits and Portfolio.
Thank you all for your encouraging comments on my last post.. I "met" several new p-bloggers that just continues to fuel the inspiration circle. Thanks, everyone!
This is the 3rd installment in the "Two Shall Become One" series - a collection of wedding photography from throughout the years as part of my attempt to build up a descent portfolio - here's the story of why I'm doing it.
It's funny this thing called marriage - a mystery, really. Some say one must "leave and cleave" - leave one's family and cleave to your new spouse to build a new family. I guess there are some truths to the statement - I just don't know how I'm going to be when I have to give my daugher away. B-)
This shot kind of reminds me of one of my earlier posts of another bride. One of my favorite is to shoot the bride while she is "au natural" and catches her during these moments when she just happens to look toward the camera, but not posing and not necessarily into the lens. Hope you like this one!
Next post in a couple of days - new couple. Stay tuned. B-)
As always, thanks for your visit. Cheers...
p.s. please be patient with me, it may take me a couple of days to re-visit your p-blogs.

@simon: Thanks Simon! Appreciate you stopped by and for the comment. Heard that you inspired another series for Shrig? You are just the series inspirer! lol.
yeah, well, 1000 photographers 1000 ways i guess. because i simply hate weddings. budget events where you get paid very little, do little work and stand for hours with no purpose then have 5 minutes to shoot everything, i dunno, in this country it just ain't worth it. but hey, i'm really glad you like it, since you can make a pretty penny with them where you're from :)
cheers dude and thanks for replyin
25 Jun 2007 4:39pm
