Melinda + MOOD!

This summer, I tagged along with my buddy Nicole to photograph one of her brides from this past summer. I posted two versions of one of the pics on my blog back then and haven’t really looked at them since. Today, I was looking for a file and I stumbled across this one. This image was taken as a test, to check my metering for the sky to make sure it is what I wanted. I then turned on my flash to illuminate Melinda. With this one, I thought it could use a little dreamy, moodiness, so this is what it turned out like. What do you think?

John Shields - I love the anonymity of the shot and the representation of overwhelming joy that most brides feel on their wedding day.

Wendy M - I like it…as art. Not as a portrait, because you can’t really see the person. But it makes me feel something, so I like it.

Jim Shields - Awesome shot!
