The "Anti Bride"

I just returned from a wedding photographers convention in Las Vegas. As always, we all learned lots, stayed up way too late, spent way too much money, and had a ton of fun in the process!



These two shots were taken during our desert wedding "shootout"; where hundreds of us conventioneers converged on a dry lake bed outside Vegas for a photo demonstration from two well-known wedding photographers. It seems everyone else there had their big cameras with their huge lenses (photo 1). Not me... these were taken with my camera phone!

So there we were in the desert with a classic Thunderbird convertible and a bride and groom (models). The idea behind this shot (photo 2) was to put the bride in the trunk and photograph the groom standing idly by with a shovel. The shot was appropriately named "Anti Bride". Just slightly left of center for most of the work I do, but very fun to watch and learn from.
