I think my favorite part of this photograph, is that I can FEEL what she is feeling… I can sense the excitement, the nerves, the absolute ERUPTION of emotion from this photograph… Without seeing even one face clearly, you have managed to arrange this shot so that we get a quick glimps of what the Bride was feeling…

BRAVO Micki!!! Really stunning!

thank you so much Darren. I love that they just totally ignored me half the time. When they were way up the walkway and then he started walking ahead of her and then she walked up to meet him I realized I had to walk on the sand dunes. He looked at me at did the wave at me. He told me earlier “now you can’t walk on the dunes you know that”. He was joking of course. I’ll do ANYTHING to get a picture. Have I told you that I actually laid on the sand during the ceremony? That’s another story. :) he he

You hit the nail on the head Darren – so much emotion and you can’t even see her face!! Exceptionally well done! (white balance impeccable!!)

Oh Micki…this is just like a painting…I can’t believe how beautiful this is! You’ve got the skin tones, the dress, the white hair, the sand, and the flowers…all of these could and probably should have messed with the outcome, but you got them all! I’m sooooo impressed! One more thing that I absolutely love…you got just the right angle so that you can just see the groom way down there waiting for her. So, so, so good….big hugs and kisses too! :)

Terrific perspective Micki!

Micki Ferguson in reply to Leslie Battjes’s comment, 3 months ago

thank you so much Leslie, I was thrilled beyond thrilled when I saw this out of the camera. :) YES! You know when you get something that just works. I so can’t wait for them to see these.

Beautiful! Great lighting Micki. Perfectly executed. Unusual perspective. I like the hint of the crowd waiting for them, it adds a sense of tension/anticipation/excitement to the image.

Micki Ferguson in reply to John Wright’s comment, 3 months ago

Thank you so much John! ;)

I tried so hard to get this perspective and lighting :)

congrats – nice to know you got what you wished when you captured this special event… it is a challenge to set goals to capture certain things one sees in their own head isn’t it. Very nice work.

Micki Ferguson in reply to PNFdeb’s comment, 3 months ago

yes, finally I am seeing things come together. Only thing is now I am so busy. I have been going through so many pictures and my head is spinning but I am doing work. I really appreciate your friendship and your support! ~ :)

This is perfect! I love it! The composition is beautiful and very emotive, the light and processing just adds to this already beautiful shot, very well done!

Your POV here was magical…..I love it

Micki Ferguson in reply to Basia McAuley’s comment, 2 months ago

Basia, thank you so much. I did very little processing as the sun was just perfect (yeah). :)
