Faces and Flowers

Roses and rosy cheeks! Faces and flowers! It’s hard to go wrong with a photo that features gorgeous bouquets, a beautiful bride, and bridesmaids. Today’s Weekend Snapshot is all about how to get a great flower-power shot.

Utilize clever angles to make the most of dimensional bouquets. When taking photos from the side, focus on the bouquets and compose the image to show just part of the girls’ happy faces. Ask the bridesmaids to all hold their bouquets at belly-button level and capture a line of gorgeous flowers. Florists love these images too, and will often feature them prominently in their social media.

Line Em' Up & Capture Those Faces and Flowers,
