…and now you may kiss the bride. A commotion of cameras flash and tears of joy and happiness fill hearts and eyes and as you turn to face your family and friends the immense love you’re feeling at that moment bursts into the crowd and the celebration begins. Oh how I love weddings! But let’s not forget that you want to remember that day forever, and you want your photos to show the beauty and happiness of this magnificent day.
Many brides know they want the customary photos, the dress, the bride walking down the aisle, looking out of a window, putting on makeup, the first dance and the kiss to name a few; however the veil is surprisingly overlooked.
The veil goes back as far as we can remember with varying stories of its origin but today a veil is worn for a special event, it signifies joy and it highlights the beauty of the bride so let’s not forget it’s importance.
Is your wedding at the beach? Is the cool ocean air blowing your hair? Have a photo of your long veil blowing in the wind with the gorgeous backdrop of the sun setting in the distance. What about a photo of a shared kiss with your veil blowing around the two of you creating a whirl wind of delicate sheer privacy or even a silhouette of the two of you with your veil blowing behind creating a wispy white mysterious beauty.
Is your wedding indoors? Veils are one of the most versatile accessories with so many opportunities to create such beautiful shots. There is something to say about a black and white close up of a bride with a veil that exudes classic style that will stand the test of time for generations to come.
Whether you’re wearing a short or long veil be sure to take a profile photo with the hazy sunlight warming your face. Don’t forget to have some fun shots too, take time to go for a spin, literally. A photo of you doing a twirl can create a stunning effect not only for your veil, but also for your dress and hair. Pull up your veil and reveal only your eyes for an exotic look or how about a half face shot with you peering out behind your lacy veil.
Have some fun and get creative, the veil is the perfect accessory for unique photos and lasting impressions.
