Main Content
As a wedding photographer, my aim is to narrate your entire wedding day visually, capturing not just the grand events but also the genuine, fleeting emotions and intricate details that truly define your unique love story. Here, we see a bride, her dark hair pulled back, seated gracefully in a white bathtub. Her arms rest gently on the tub’s edge, her right hand delicately raised, palm forward, almost as if in a moment of quiet contemplation. She wears a stunning white, sheer, long-sleeved top with exquisite floral detailing, complemented by a delicate necklace and perfectly manicured white fingernails.
The Vision Behind the Shot
This scene was captured sometime in Autumn, bathed in the soft light filtering through the large, multi-paned window behind her, overlooking a lush green lawn and trees. I chose this composition to highlight the bride’s elegance and the peaceful atmosphere of her preparations. The choice of a sheer, floral top adds a layer of ethereal beauty, enhancing the bridal glow and pre-wedding confidence that every bride embodies. It’s about celebrating her personal self before the joyous chaos of the day begins, creating a visual heirloom that preserves the intimacy of these moments.

Technical Approach
To achieve this intimate portrait, I used my Canon EOS 5D Mark IV with the EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens. The shallow depth of field, achieved at f/3.5, beautifully isolates the subject, drawing the viewer’s eye directly to the bride. A shutter speed of 1/200s perfectly froze any potential motion, while an ISO of 800 managed the ambient light gracefully. The 28.0 mm focal length provided a fairly wide field of view, capturing the context of the elegant setting. A subtle flash was fired to supplement the available light, ensuring perfect exposure and bringing out the delicate textures of her top. This combination of technical choices allowed me to capture the scene’s emotional depth and clarity.
