I Heart Faces: Feeling Blue

This week's theme at I Heart Faces is "blue." Y'all know Jayci has blue eyes. And I love me some blue sky. So I have lots of "blue" images to choose from. But then this picture, from my friend's wedding that I helped photograph this weekend just spoke to me. I know she's not FEELING blue because, well, it's her wedding day. But it was a gray, rainy day and the picture just "felt" blue to me. *side note: emphasis on HELPED take pictures. Luckily there was another photographer who took REAL pictures. Because lots of mine were really grainy/yucky. I just dont have the equipment/skillz/energy to be a wedding photographer. I mean, who knew how tiring it is?! I kept wanting to just eat a few pieces of cake fruit, to keep my energy up you know. But then the bride would do something crazy like throwing the bouquet or having her first dance or something. I told her I'd just get pictures of her NEXT bouquet toss. Oh wait, that doesn't work?

Enough rambling, here's the picture.
And head over to I heart faces to check out all the 'blue' pictures this week!

I see what you mean by the lighting and the way it looks that it reminds you of Blue....of course she wasn't..that's a very good thing! :)

Very nice spin on the blue theme. I like this photo a lot. How did you get your header to have a pretty font. Love that.

you're funny... I find myself thinking I am an actual guest and wanting to eat and dance, but then I have this heavy thing hanging around my neck as a reminder...
you did a fantastic job!
a good camera helps, but I tell you noiseware can be a life saver http://www.imagenomic.com/nwpg.aspx?gclid=COPwnp6Bl50CFRkpawodxB8s_A

I don't think that this is a grainy/yucky shot at all. I like it a lot. And it does look rather BLUE.

You crack me up, Becca! Love the photo and the fact that it captures the mood in a different way. But oh. Your comments. Made. me. laugh. No, really... I can see you, standing there with cake in your hand, mouth hanging open, as the bouquet flies over your head... oops! hee...!
