Autumn Bride At The Lake
This is definitely not the shot I had set out to take when I jumped out of the van last September. I knew I only had about a 10 minute window to make it to the overlook at Moraine Lake before I lost the late afternoon sun. I was sprinting and gasping for air as I came around this last corner, but I instantly slammed on the brakes when I noticed a bride waiting expectantly for her photographer on the top of the ridge. It's hard to imagine a better location for a wedding shoot and this bride was certainly getting her money's worth (or her dad's money's worth) as the warm late afternoon sun was backlighting her beautifully against the majestic peaks behind her. I took several shots of her with a couple of different lenses, but I chose this one as a) you can't see her face and I don't have a model release form and b) I love the juxtaposition of the petite figure in white surrounded by epic grandeur in all directions. I eventually made it to the overlook before I lost the sun and took a surprising amount of shots before the sun dropped behind the ridge, prompting us to hustle back to the van as we were already late for our next location.
