The American Dream

The American Dream

I love this shot for so many reasons.  Normally, a wedding photographer will photograph a bride and her father from behind when they are walking down the isle in order to get a great image of the train of the dress.

This shot is a bit of risk, as the image had to be captured just as the couple was betweeen the flag and the window.  The father is walking just slightly ahead ofthe bride, allowing for both faces to be seen.

Everything comes together in this image, and it’s one of my favorites.  Leave a comment and let me know what you think.

I started following you on twitter, and I do find this is an excellent photograph. Not only does the photo have emotional content, the vivid reds and whites frame the photo well. The railing in the foreground gives a sense of depth leading the eye to the main subject. And, whats through the window gives a deeper dimension to the picture itself. Well done.
