Stavanger is the fourth biggest city in Norway. It is situated on the southwest coast.
My aim is to try to capture something from every day, from the area nearby too, and when I am not at home I will still try to put up a photo from my archive.
Welcome back for another look.

It is the season for weddings, and this couple I saw at Sola beach in the afternoon today.
Oh yes, that's the perfect place, as long as there isn't too much wind. Do people get married on the beach, or is it just for the photo? Some finnish friends got married in a Park, here in Barcelona
I think it was just the men who took the photographs, and the woman in the long blue dress was probably a close friend. Most people get married at the registry office or in a church. Some years back some priests gave the couple their blessings out in many strange places or even high up in the mountains. I guess today you can invite/pay a person who has the right to do the formal part anywhere. Priests normally work only inside the church. The beach is a popular place for taking wedding photographs, some combine it with a visit to the photographers studio.
I've been involved in some very different wedding settings but I think it is difficult to take photos on the beach...it's hard to get the light right, and there's usually wind and then sand gets in the camera...
But shots like this, when they work, are very beautiful.
What a wonderful backdrop for a wedding photo - that sea is so blue. Looks a bit windy though!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great place for a wedding photo shoot! The lady in blue looks very dressy for a photographer :D
