Getting Ready for a Wedding

8/19/2021

6 Comments

 
I was working on shooting some flashbacks from Baron's life for my 'Somewhere in Time' story, and wasn't even going to tackle Lawrence and Monica's wedding - just mention it in passing - but then was suddenly inspired to try shoot it anyways.  However the story only needed a few photos for the flashback, so I decided to put together a separate album with all the wedding photos.

At first I tried a few quick photos on the patio....of Lawrence and Monica.....
Picture
...with their bridal party....
Picture
...and with Lawrence's family.... his sister Grace, and his father, the King....
Picture
But I wasn't happy with the lighting, and a white card wasn't helping, so I quit, hoping for better light the next day.

Getting Ready

The following photos were taken in the castle just before the ceremony....
​The wedding party...
Picture
Lawrence had asked Baron to be his Best Man...
Picture
The Prince and his bride...
Picture
Picture
Their immediate family was there with them as well; Lawrence's father, the King; Monica's brother Rex; and Lawrence's sister Grace....
Picture
Lawrence's father took the opportunity to welcome Monica to the family....
Picture
Picture
Picture
Everyone was waiting for the ceremony to begin....
Picture
Meanwhile, the little flower girl was having trouble keeping the flowers in her basket....
Picture
"I believe this is yours, miss..."
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
"I think we are all ready to go now..."

Thank you. It' wasn't bad considering it was thrown together in a last minute rush.

Martha, you could take up wedding photography in your spare time (smile).

The photos are lovely.

Don't flower girls always steal the show? She is adorable.

Thanks, but no thanks. I do have some experience with real wedding photography, and it's a hugely stressful job.

All the photos are lovely! A bonus with all these wedding photos is that it has helped me keep all the relationships of the characters straight.

I always enjoy how you blend contemporary elements so seamlessly into a time in the distant past.

Thank you. I often have to just go with whatever I have on hand. Fortunately my dolls inhabit a Fantasy world, and I don't worry about strict adherence to what some might consider 'period appropriate'.
