“I'll take Brides In their underwear for 500 Ale “I'll take Brides In their underwear for 500 Alex.” I’ve told Brides, if you want your husband to be at all engaged with the process of putting your wedding album together, just take some risqué shots on your wedding day. If you're not sure what risqué means, it's French, and means daringly close to indelicacy or impropriety...perfect stuff to keep a man's attention long enough to choose photos for an album. NOTE: This is a G rated shot for Instagram. I photographed this Bride at the Sandpearl Resort, Clearwater, FL. . . #wedding #tampaphoto #tampaphotographer #tampaweddingphotographer #tampaweddings #weddingphotographer #weddingphotography #floridaweddingphotographer #creativephotos #creativephotoideas #floridawedding #creativeweddingphotos #artisticphotos #justmarried #floridaweddings #heasked #Isaidyes #engaged #weareengaged #bridalportrait #sandpearlresort #sandpearlbeachresort #bridesinlangerie

Typically, when someone sees a camera they either Typically, when someone sees a camera they either smile or run away, it's instinct. Brides are no different. But when you make a Bride stand in “the corner” and ask her to cover her smile with the veil, which is what it's for anyway, the smile just translates to her eyes and you get this kind of beauty.

I’m not saying moments like this don’t happen I’m not saying moments like this don’t happen in elevators. But if they do, they wouldn’t look good for the camera this photo. To get shots like this, we have to commandeer the elevator just for the couple, compose the shot, holding the camera steady and in focus standing on one foot while holding the elevator door open with the other.

Placing a Bride in solo situations, where she is t Placing a Bride in solo situations, where she is the focus of attention, is something we do all day. Sometimes we move her, sometimes we move ourselves, sometimes we move other people. Sometimes, we just grab an opportunity like this, when the Bride appears to be alone, lost in thought, with a background of pure white. Perfect. None of that was the case, but Eric made it look like that with this shot.

Elegant (adj.) Pleasingly graceful and stylish in Elegant (adj.) Pleasingly graceful and stylish in appearance or manner. I hear the word elegance quite a bit, and frankly…it’s very subjective and not always accurate, in my subjective opinion. I feel strongly that it’s accurate here though, in this image that Mj captured of this Bride.
