More ways to photograph wedding flowers

Continuing the theme of last week's blog, here are more images which show how the art of flower arranging and decoration can be photographed.

There is nothing like a room with sheer white curtains to diffuse light, and to reflect and bounce light back into a subject.



The signs on the table are a nice touch, but notice the business card on each napkin.  Attached is a flash drive containing all the songs the DJ played at the reception.  A Silicon Valley trend coming to New Mexico, no doubt, in the not-too-distant future.




The "roundness" of the arrangement below is made so much more intriguing by the types of flowers and greenery used, reaching out to just about everyone at the table.




Amidst the beauty provided by Mo Wilson of Perfect Parties by Mo shown in this blog, it is good to remember what this date in history means.  This text was included in a recent Veterans for Peace blog.


"Congressional Act (52 Stat.351: 5U.S. Code, Sec.87a) approved May 13, 1938, made November 11th of each year a legal Federal Holiday,“A day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated and known as ‘Armistice Day’.”

The ceasefire on the, “eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month” of 1918 along the European Western Front was such a relief to all those involved as the world had never seen such horror and carnage as World War I. The horrible conflict that had come to be known as the “War to End War” brought the bulk of humanity to contemplate abolishing war."

Thanks to the veterans of any conflict, and those veterans of peacemaking, who are frequently one and the same. 



until next Monday,

    1. Thanks, Steve. I think the place for opinions and commentary offer possibilities. Are you home yet? I look forward to seeing more of Guatemala from the Immel photography library!
