The Bride - a photo on Flickriver

The Bride

            Kama‘aina, “people of the land” or native Hawaiians. 

While at the beach on a sunset shoot I happened upon a small wedding ceremony taking place.  I watched from a distance not wanting to intrude, and afterwards the bride saw me and walked over.   I asked if she wanted me to take her photo, since I saw no photographer there, and she nodded enthusiastically.  I quickly set her up and took a series of close ups.  After editing, I sent them to her.  It was the first time I recall  taking a non candid portrait and putting it on Flickr.   I've often said I don't like the unnatural look that I get from posed portraits, but she was immediately comfortable when I raised my camera and began photographing her. I was very pleased at her serene and gentle demeanor which I think was captured in this portrait.
