Back in August, I volunteered my services photographing a model for the Rochester Wedding Magazine.  There were about 20 photographers that participated and a handful of models dressed in bridal couture as the magazine was looking for images for their book.  I went more for the experience in photographing a model and to practice posing brides since I tend to be more on the candid, catch it as it happens kind of photographer.  I love being able to anticipate what might happen through the lens, but there are definitely circumstances that insist on you being able to direct a person to reveal a better image.  So, I worked with my model for about an hour…ducking in and out of the shade which was tricky since we had to shoot in the middle of the afternoon, sun high in the sky, with limited places to hide out.  I posted a lot of them earlier in the blog…back in August if you want to see what I submitted.

Luck was on my side that day because I recently found out that one of my images was chosen for the November cover!!

Jayda was simply stunning, and I am honored to have won this privilege!  Thank you Rochester Wedding Magazine!
Here’s the new cover!
