Bride standing in forest with veil blowing in wind
Often, some of the best photographs we can take come when the boss stops right on the side of the road during a drive from point A to point B. This was one of those occasions, as we found perfect lines of trees on the journey between Paris and Nantes. Asking the bride to Center her face in between the rows of trees and then creating some motion through movement in the veil helped to make an image that could go on display in a travel magazine... the bride posed perfectly as the wind swept her veil and her dress... One of the things that we have learned throughout the years is to work with the elements to create beautiful imagery. Rather than run from the wind, embrace it, and rather than hide from Bad light, turn it into a good view. This was one of the situations where we needed to add external lighting to create the image you see in front of you. Without it, the bride would have no light on her face, and the scene would be flat altogether... If you are shopping for a Los Angeles wedding photographer, make sure that you ask to see portfolios from weddings that are photographed in low, dimly lit areas.
