wedding photo-shoot

I took these pictures in a cemetery, in Huntington. I wanted the photos to have a dark feel to them, and a little mystery. I got the wedding dress at a church store for $25 bucks. I love the detail and lace on the val and dress. My sister was my model, she wore the dress very well. This photo-shoot was a success.

I like the first shot because, it shows off the dress. The only thing that I wish I had did was maybe had a crazy dramctic dress and instead of a simple black dress. Over all I'm happy with the photo's. I had a lot of fun exploring the building.
