2 is 1 - Beautiful Bride
Posted by {H} creatives (San Francisco Bay Area, United States) on 15 August 2007 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
Hello, Inspiration Circle!
Sorry about the late return to revisit your p-blogs....but I wanted you to know that I really appreciate all of your time in coming by and leaving comments. Your "welcome back" greetings are so encouraging and all of you just makes this AM3 community even more wonderful to be a part of. Thanks so much! B-)
This is another shot of Yvonne, the bride. A beautiful girl, and tall, too. This is a behind the scene shot that I took while she was putting on make up before we went to the mosque. Notice that her henna is now a deep color of red.
Zia, her husband, is Pakistani and they were married according to the Islamic tradition. It was my first time ever photographing in a mosque, and quiet honestly was a new experience. Everything was very formal during the ceremony and felt that I didn't get a chance to take too much shot in there, so not sure if I'll be able to post anything worthy of sharing. The "iman" (religious leader), though, was very nice and humble.
Next time, maybe I'll post Yvonne in her wedding dress.
I'll see you in your p-blog soon. 'Til then, cheers!

Lovely shot dear {H}! This is so nice to see her in wedding dress! But I'm so happy to here that they celebrated their wedding in mosque! Although I'm a muslim but it's not common in Iran to celebrate weddings in mosque. We only go to mosque to do our prayings and other religious ceremonies.

Hi , I agree with Goncalo about the angle you shot this from - superb. She is a very pretty girl and I am sure she will be very happy to have this wonderful shot of her getting ready for the marriage. Nicely done!

Sidney from Manila, Philippines
She is indeed beautiful. Not so obvious to do such a traditional wedding for a girl from the West. I guess it is love with a big L.

Florian from Paris, France
You know, I think I prefer this one to the previous. More well composed, well lighted and the glance is more concentrate, like she don't see you, then more intimate.

Henna is a great color- I think even better on skin that is paler, it seems to pop a little more.
Fantastic photo! Good to see you again .

Nice capture of moment pal!
The tattoo looks nice!
One suggestion, maybe u could post process it and make the background look soft.. adding some soft romantic touch to the foto, creating a better atmosphere for wedding? :p
Btw, when is ur next foto coming? dun let us wait too long ;)
