Bless the unexpected

Just when I thought my photographic pleasure in Venice couldn't get any better, I came across this oriental bride in St. Mark's Square.

It has a ballet feel to it because of her pose. She looks very graceful and I like the white tones of her dress and the architecture a lot.

great catch - nothing like an unexpected bride to spice up a day of shooting
was she posing for you or is this some crazy candid expression?

@Jason Kravitz: Posing for sure. Many thanks, Jason.
