Roses For The Wedding Cake

During a wedding I photographed at a winery, I caught sight of them finally bringing out the “nude” wedding cake. The woman in charge of the whole thing had with her a newspaper photo of a similar wedding cake that she used as a go-by in placing the roses and adding the finishing touches. When photographing a wedding or any event, for that matter, it’s the extras like this that add to a memorable photo shoot. And the technique of focusing in on an object (or objects) in the foreground while leaving the background sort of “bokeh’d” makes for a more interesting image than just a straight all-in-focus shot.
