LOC: Galveston, Texas
DATE: December 17, 2007

The bride from a wedding I’ll be shooting in March wanted to get her bridal portrait shoot off of her list of things to do. Having already found her dress many months in advance (very lucky!), she was ready in late December. We spent the morning in Galveston at the Hotel Galvez which will serve as the location for their ceremony and reception. Locations within the hotel grounds were practically endless, our only limitation was time (my client had to be back for work soon after noon) and a very harsh midday sun. Everything from the front lawn to the hotel elevator held potential for a great shot (even the ladies’ room!). I only wish it had been a little more overcast for our outdoor shots.

Most of these images were captured using natural light with some reflected light. Though, for our last shots (in and around the aforementioned ladies’ room) I pulled out my AB 800 and soft box for a more stylistic look.

Overall, I was very pleased with the results and look forward to the wedding at this outstanding location!
