  • This brought a smile to my face. I like the lower mirror so the young girl can see herself, but what makes it most special is the photographer got on the girl’s level to see what she could see. The smile on the woman’s face holding the mirror also reflects on the moment.
  • There's seems to be a lot of serious things happening at once around the table in the background. In the meantime, up front and center it's all child's play as a young girl gets a first look at her wedding attire. It's a juxtaposition of two worlds that work in a delightful way.
