045 - Behind the Scenes: Wedding Detail Shots Part 2

Continuing from the last episode, we’re going to take a look at another detailed shot from a wedding. This time I was trying to capture a unique photo of the bride’s bouquet that, in the beginning, wasn’t working out quite like I had expected it to. Sometimes the smallest things can make the biggest difference.
