Epic Couples
The stone work and candlelight make this image look as though it might somehow have been shot in the Middle Ages—but the final effect is decidedly modern. On their balcony, the bride and groom are delicately backlit to pop them out from the wall as they look down on the gathered guests who toast them from the lower level of the hall. It's a smart, engaging way to show all the guests and the splendor of the reception.
