Radiant Bliss - Photo Impressionism #1

Was shooting an outdoor wedding in a pine wood forest and wanted to use natural lighting as much as possible. To facilitate shooting in existing lighting I used high ISO's, wide apertures and slow shudder speeds. Though managing to get some great in focus shots, a number of shots were of course blurred, hence resulting in takes like this one.

The 'zoominess' effect here (movement blur from me moving a tad while taking the photo) and graininess ( from using a very high ISO) are both from in camera, not PP. Only PP was minor adjustments to light and contrast. Though not your perfect traditional wedding portrait, I thought it a fun photo resembling Impressionism Art.

One photo in a series I will be posting.

What Are the Key Characteristics of Impressionism?
Light and its reflection.
Quickly painted surfaces (or the appearance of quickly painted surfaces).
Dots, dashes, commas and other short brushstrokes.
Separating colors and letting the eye's perception mix them.
Modern life as the subject matter.

FYI: The young bride here is the same young lady posing in my personal gallery photo titled 'Fairies Among Us' which pictures a young child with wings. It was taken in 2004 at which time she was about 12 years old. What a joy for me it was to photograph her wedding day!
