The Vision Behind the Shot
This particular image, taken during the Wedding of S and K B at the majestic Banwell Castle near Weston Super Mare, showcases a bride with fair skin and charming freckles. Her light brown hair, styled with elegant curls framing her face and pulled back, complements her strapless white lace wedding dress. Her exquisite makeup, featuring eyeshadow, eyeliner, and lipstick, along with a delicate necklace and small earrings, highlights her natural beauty. The serene backdrop of a room with white walls and gold trim created a perfect canvas for this moment of quiet reflection before the grand celebration.

Technical Approach
To achieve the dreamy, shallow depth of field that isolates our subject so beautifully, this shot was captured with my Canon EOS 90D and the EF50mm f/1.4 USM lens, precisely at f/1.4. A shutter speed of 1/160s ensured absolute sharpness, freezing any subtle movement, while an ISO of 100 minimised noise, even with the flash on and fired, providing impeccable clarity. The 50mm focal length offers a standard, natural perspective, allowing for an intimate portrayal of the scene. This careful technical execution ensures every detail, from the texture of the lace to the delicate petals of the white roses, is rendered with stunning clarity and artistic flair.
