Description

We'd gone to Pfeiffer Beach to watch the sunset on the last day of our Big Sur holiday. Just as we'd settled into our hidden spot, the wedding party arrived, all decked out for their perfect portrait. Couldn't help but sneak a few moments of my own.
Focal Length: 200mm, 1/130s, f/6.3, ISO: 800.

Who said that the marriage is not good?
At least this there seems excellent.
Excellent as it is the picture.
Excellent as it was the moment, very well captured by the photographer.
A picture well done... And competence example.

Nadya Johnson December 07, 2007

How did I miss your awesome finalist??? GORGEOUS photo, Philippe! I bet Marina's right. I once threw a huge wedding on the beach in Baja for my cousin and I hired a photographer; I am still sorry, now! Well, I felt I couldn't do "everything". But his photos weren't up to my expectations and I could have done better on my own. Your is stunning! PERFECT lighting. Wow! #5179443
