Bride Behind the Veil

Photographer Chris Nelson of Chris and Becca Photography captured this in-between moment during a wedding in Simsbury, Connecticut. He and his wife (and shooting partner) Becca were posing the couple when Chris fired the shutter, producing this meditative portrait of the bride partially hidden by her veil. “This moment was unposed, unprompted, completely spontaneous and easy to miss,” Becca says.

In post, the duo chose to produce the image in black and white. “Taking away all of the color made the veil look so dreamy, and brought the focus more directly toward the bride’s eye,” Becca explains.

(Captured using a Canon 5D Mark IV and a 50mm lens at f/1.2 1/320 of a sec. and ISO 100.)
