Temecula Creek Inn Bridal Expo


"In God we trust; all others must bring data."   
 - William Edwards Deming. 1900 - 1993


My oldest daughter and her mom's floral arrangement business, Soleil Flowers, participated in a bridal expo this past Saturday afternoon at the Temecula Creek Inn in Temecula, California. I'm like their "official photographer" for their creations. I've showcased some of the photographs I took of their arrangements below.

We've been experimenting with a look and feel photographically that better expresses their vision and artistic talents. Here, we used some soft focus and a glamour glow, coupled with little or no photographic sharpening. This tends to give the photos a soft and dreamy feel, displaying a more ethereal atmosphere to better portray a satiny, romantic impression.

Being primarily a landscape and wildlife photographer, my tendency is to create photographs that are very sharp and detailed and well saturated; more what the eye would see if personally there. Working with Sarah and Laurie, we are beginning to realize the quality of feel visualized in order to characterize Soleil Flowers.
