I &hearts Faces


Well after a few-week break, I'm back in the game over on I &hearts Faces. This week's theme is sepia-toned photography. When I think of photos that are tinted in a sepia tone, I immediately think timeless...and what's more timeless than a wedding? It's a centuries-old tradition that will continue on for generations to come. So when I was deciding what photos to enter into this week's contest, I immediately thought of these shots from a recent wedding I helped with.

For the children's category, I grabbed this shot of one of the little flower girls just before she was getting dressed for the ceremony. She was thrilled to be getting dolled-up like a princess, and she certainly wasn't short on smiles that day!


And for the grown-up category, I just adore this photo of the bride that I took just before the ceremony began. I love the detail in her dress and the way the light is pouring in all around her. The best part is that she had no idea I was getting her picture just then. She was watching as one of the bridesmaids spread out the train on her gown, and it made for a beautiful photo.


Make sure you hop over to I &hearts Faces...join in the fun by submitting your own photo or just poke around to see all the fantastic entries this week.

Beautiful! Such pretty eyes on the top photo. My entry can be seen here. It's a pic of our daughter right after we adopted her in China.
