Am just tearful at the quality of emotion in this one image. I dont understand someone who doesnt get it .This is the moment you are giving your precious daughter away to another man. This is the most beautiful you will ever see her and it is the last day she will be your child and under your protection.
yes but also kinda cool that you can see the men and women but in 2 different rooms
For me.. those tears are product of that overwhelming feeling of love. When you love someone SO MUCH that it just fills you and you can't believe that this person, this beautiful, amazing person loves you back, you feel amazed by thinking how happy you are because s/he exists and how s/he can make you feel this way, and experience this profound and pure LOVE.
Its the "haldi" ceremony in Indian weddings. "Haldi" or turmeric powder is applied by the friends and family on bride before the wedding day. It helps improve skin complexion during the actual wedding.
Reminds me of a scene from a musical. I expect them to start dancing any moment.
This must have been Brian May's wedding (Bohemian Rhapsody)
This is great. It shows the sacrifice that a mother gives of here body, time, and energy even on her wedding day to her little one.
This is definitely a testament that you should never skimp on the wedding photographer. Incredible
or learn how to use photoshop, it is much easier than photographers would lead you to believe. or lightroom for starters.
Agreed. Photoshop works wonders, but you can't conjure creative composition and concepts from photoshop.
Photoshop can turn a good photo into an extraordinary photo. But it can't turn a bad one into a good one. There are a hundred factors that contribute to a good picture. Saying that anybody can take good pictures if they use Photoshop is like saying that anybody can write a Pulitzer-winning novel if they use Microsoft Word.
It is very easy to judge when you are not the one behind the camera. Wedding's are some of the most difficult moments to photograph well. There are so many factors - the bride, groom,guest and weather do not always cooperate. It is a very stressful job, you must have ability to see and capture the ordinary and spot the extraordinary and catch it in an instant. It really is a gift. Use of photo editing can enhance a ordinary photo and make it sublime. Expectations of what will be captured is very high and a great wedding photographer meets and exceeds those expectations with barely being noticed. I loved all of these photographs. Kudos to the photographer(s) who took them.
they say one pictures is one thousand words.sometimes is one thousand emotions
