the extended bridal veil
this is my first attempt with such kind of shots (long "bridal veil"). In the beginning it has not been easy to convince the bridal couple to do a "fancy photo". they were the kind of people who wanted no unusual photos, in terms of no jumping, running, tossing and not even kissing (just joking) - they only wanted a few classical settings. what ever a couple likes is perfectly fine with me, though it surprised me a bit as you don’t hear this very often.
so they were not really in a "play-mood" and I had to “teach” them exactly what to do. once again I found out how difficult it is do direct people with "spoken instructions" - as I was standing on a balcony to photograph from above. additionally to that, they were distracted by their guests and friends.
After all the result is not too bad, but I definitely have to work on this idea much more to develop it further (i.e. I dislike that you don’t see much of her hands). A general problem with this kind of shots also is, that there aren’t many locations with a balcony I could use…
