An environmental portrait of the bride and her father is one of my priorities at the beginning of the ceremony. When I have a beautiful backdrop that may be used as a canvas, then the image can be made in a few seconds without delaying the start of the ceremony.
This is an image during the procession of the wedding of Jacki and Matt at the Interlaken Inn.
Before the bride starts walking down the aisle, I ask her to stop for a few seconds, breathe and immerse herself in the moment. This is one of my favorite environmental portraits. I used the Canon 17mm TS-E lens which allows me to choose the composition without the typical ultra wide lens distortion. The father decided to embrace his daughter and kiss her. This particular gesture made this image more meaningful and powerful. Venue: @interlaken_inn https://www.interlakeninn.com/weddings/
The importance of an environmental portrait of the bride and her father cannot be overemphasized. All my brides value such an image and decide to include it in their wedding albums. You may view my wedding portfolio at http://www.ymvisuals.com.
