This bride is having so much fun! The smoky sparklers and dramatic background make for a great contrast to the bride’s radiant expression. A moment of pure bliss within an atmospheric tableau creates a lovely image. Dramatic lighting and peak emotion combined with clean composition come together perfectly. The bride’s unpretentious sweater over her wedding gown adds a sweet simplicity to the photograph.
