Wedding shoot

whenever i see a wedding shoot going on i get excited. i like to take some pics too. but not the standard ones the real, professional photographer is taking.... this one seemed like a real fancy one! i have often wondered about the clothes for the bridesmaids. who pays that? who chooses the dresses? so i asked some real americans and they told me that sometimes the bride let them decide, "just" tells them the kind of fabric and/or color. or she chooses, or all of them together. often all the dresses are the same, as above. but the bridesmaids themselves pay for them...
when we were wathing (and photographing) the wedding spectacle a security guard ask everyone not to do so. "since they paid for their privacy". they were in the brooklyn botanic garden. on a saturday. while the blossom trees were in full bloom. so... what privacy?! i just looked up, a shoot, for up to 20 people, costs 300 dollars (thats for the botanic garden, and ofcourse does not include the costs of the photographer and so on...), is 45 minutes and comes with a security guard to enforce time limit and to make sure the session is not "disrupted". ah well, by then i had taken my shots... :)

Glad you got the photos before "the chief" stopped you.

Love this angle for your shot Cat, the bridesmaids dresses look fab whoever paid for them, love the detailing around the top and waist. I think if people chose to do their 'thing' in a public spot, then they've got to get over the odd passerby taking a quick shot. Nice work!

Ha,ha, this looks great, so American those adult bridesmaids. You don't see that here. Glad you managed to make a picture, a bit strange to ask for privacy in a parc indeed.

I like the bridesmaids dresses :-) Glad you made the photo, really like the angle. I also had to laugh about the girl on the right, talking on the phone, even during a wedding photo shoot they can't put the phone down :-)

Oh, goodie! You've taken a no-no picture! Gorgeous setting, and it looks like a pretty wedding.

I'm curious about what's happening with the bridesmaid on the left (looks like she's got a hand in her mouth?) and the one on the right -- a phone? At a wedding?
