I was initially inspired by the sleeve of Grace’s dress, so when I saw the light streaming in through the almost floor-to-ceiling windows I knew I wanted to highlight that form using the light available. It actually involves a bit of luck for me to capture a bridal portrait like this on a wedding day. I often don’t have that much time to devote to carefully observing light and slowly and methodically creating portraits of just the bride… normally I carve out the most time for the portraits of the newlyweds together. But I ended up with a good amount of time before the ceremony that day, so I took advantage of it.
