1:1 B&W Wedding

Challenge #2 in the Wedding Photography Series series. Hosted by Max Ferreira.

Challenge has finished

This series started with a general "Wedding" challenge. Now we'll remain in the theme, but with some specific requirements in each challenge. This one requires B&W wedding photos, taken or cropped with the ratio 1:1, remembering the old 6x6 (and other square formats) cameras.

She was about to through the flowers, I tried to find a more original angle, shot from the back, with a wide angle. The 1:1 cropping is not perfect, but it still kept the mood of the photo.
