2 is 1 - Man And Wife
Posted by {H} creatives (San Francisco Bay Area, United States) on 3 July 2007 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
Hello there, Inspiration Circle! B-). Thanks for your kind visits and comments on my previous posts. I have taken constructive critiques to heart and will definitely use them as a gauge as to whether to include these pics in my portfolio. Thanks much!
This is the 8th installment of this series called "Two Shall Become One" that started here.
This shot is taken from the wedding of Yeny and Ethan, great friends I've known for some time, so this is dedicated to them. I love the expressions on Yeny's face, taken moments after the pronouncement: "man and wife". Capturing these outbursts of joy is what makes it worthwhile for people photographers like me, and is one of the reasons why I love to shoot people at weddings - with my cameras, of course..lol. [ If you look carefully, Wendy was actually standing in the background. ]
For those of you celebrating, Happy 4th of July tomorrow!
Please give me some time, but I will surely revisit your p-blogs soon! Cheers...

Great capture; the bride has movie-star quality in her joyfully radiant smile. This is "Her" day and your camera captured this.

The interesting thing about this photo is the entire room is tilted to the left, and yet Yeny is perfectly framed. Joy!

eydryan from Bucharest, Romania
it's another nice wedding photo but excuse for saying this but it's becoming a bit repetitive (couples at their wedding, all in the same place and from the front). It would be nice to vary it a bit. I dunno, just an idea, not meaning that the photo isn't great, on the contrary, just that i'd like to see a bit more variety (and colour ;)
see ya mate
