My Favorite Photo – July

Can you believe it’s already the end of July? I’ve been slammed with wonderful weddings in the past month and they’ll continue into August, so picking a favorite photo this month was really tough – especially since Marc, the groom in my July 4 wedding, stopped in the middle of his portrait posing, turned to me and said, “This better be the photo of the month.” No pressure!

Well, Marc, I’m sorry to let you down. I do adore your wedding photos, but you’re not the focus of my favorite this month.

This is Anna – she also got married in July and she was loads of fun. I love this photo because of the spontaneous moment. She was leading her bridal party across the street, I’m not sure she even saw me in front of her, and she was totally engrossed in the moment and how fabulous she felt. I love the city buildings behind her, the vibrant colors of her bouquet and the look on her face.

I took this photo with my Canon 50D, fitted with my 50mm f/1.4 lens. I snapped it at f/2.2 and with a shutter speed of 1/400 on a beautiful Northwest overcast day.

Happy August tomorrow! Check back for a great giveaway tomorrow on the blog!
