I Heart Faces

This week’s iheartfaces challenge is Wedding Bells with ‘oh so fabulous’ guest judge, Jasmine Star. So as I was editing Pam & Scott’s wedding photos I came across this photo, & I knew I HAD to submit it in for this week’s contest! It is absolutely one of my favorite wedding images ever.  

This moment was captured just few seconds after Pam had just stepped out of the limo on her wedding day. Pam & Scott had returned to her mom’s place for the “Doli” ceremony. The Doli is a traditional ceremony that takes place after the marriage ceremony, when the bride returns to her parent’s house for a final farewell..I think in this moment Pam was truly delighted, happy & I think in some ways quite surprised to see her & Scott’s entire family & friends waiting for them, all present to give her away to her new groom.. …to me this image captured a beautiful moment that depicts true emotions.

Make sure to head on over to www.iheartfaces.com to check out all of the beautiful face entries this week!

hugs,
