One of the things that I personally enjoy is the classic looking wedding dresses that I come across at weddings. You get some modern looks here and there, but I personally feel that they aren’t as good looking. I guess I lean more traditional. It is just a matter of preference I suppose. My favorite images I love to capture of the bride in her wedding dress is the father walking the bride down the isle. This is the moment when the dress is finally revealed to not only the family and friends attending, but the groom as well. In about 25% of the instances I may be able to catch the groom shedding some tears of joy. Another instance where I like to get some great photos is when the bride holds the groom’s hands and looks into his eyes for the first time once she gets up there. It is as if they are saying to each other, “This is really happening!”.
