Main Content
There’s a unique magic in the quiet anticipation of a wedding day. Our latest capture features a stunning bride, central in her elegant white wedding gown with delicate spaghetti straps and off-the-shoulder sleeves. Her hair is styled in a beautiful updo, adorned with a veil and subtle embellishments, complementing her carefully applied makeup. She holds a charming bouquet of dried flowers, adding a rustic, autumnal touch to her sophisticated look. The backdrop of a verdant field, a rustic wooden fence, and trees boasting rich autumn foliage creates a picturesque and timeless setting, with small stones underfoot adding texture to the foreground.
The Vision Behind the Shot
This image was conceived to capture the genuine emotions and fleeting moments that define a bride’s preparation. Shot in autumn, the natural light beautifully illuminated the scene, enhancing the warm tones of the dried flowers and the surrounding landscape. I used my Canon EOS 90D with an EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens, set at f/10 to ensure a stunning depth of field where every detail, from the gown’s fabric to the distant autumn trees, remained in exquisite focus. A shutter speed of 1/250s froze any subtle movement, while an ISO of 250 minimised noise, ensuring pristine image quality. The flash was fired to provide that perfect kiss of light, giving a contemporary edge to this classic bridal portrait.

Technical Approach
The technical precision behind this shot aimed for clarity and depth. Captured at a focal length of 28.0mm, it provides a slightly wide perspective, bringing both the bride and her beautiful surroundings into frame. The deliberate choice of f/10 ensured that the intricate details of her dress, the textures of the dried flowers, and the autumnal background were all rendered with sharp focus, creating a cohesive and immersive image. The minimal ISO of 250 prevents graininess, crucial for large prints, while the flash fill-light adds definition and sparkle.
