A really beautiful bridal shot! I love that angle. This will be one that she will treasure for a long time.
In answer to your question on my post tonight. It is in Australia. It is in the Northern Tablelands NSW, near Armidale where I live. Armidale is halfway between Sydney and Brisbane on the New England Highway. #2986843
