- get to dress up
- I get to see other people dressing up
I actually quite like the 'matchy matchy' thing that tends to happen in weddings, like the same shoes, bags and accessories for bridesmaids. Plus I like all the cream and pale gold that often crop up again and again because they are timeless, traditional colours.
Bags, shoes and hairpieces are all things I tend to photograph... These are the type of photos I don't really want to give to the wedded couple, but actually think 'I'll take a photo of that for later', like some photo scrapbook that I can look back on.
Some people wear bold, statement pieces, like the 'kimono' style dress above, whilst others go for more subtle details like the little flowery ruffles of the green dress. It's interesting that you can actually pick out the people who appreciate fashion to the ones who just bought something they felt was appropriate for a wedding.
I have a thing for those big, ribboned, fancy hats that seem to only really look right at formal occasions. If I could get away with it I'd probably buy and wear them to college, but I'd probably get a ton of funny looks, and look ridiculously contrived.
I was pretty obsessed with the woman wearing the beige blazer, she probably wondered why I took so many photos of her in particular (haha, creepy stalker photographer is me). She had the kind of natural elegance I would so, so like to exude myself. Alas, perhaps future me will!
