PHOTO CAPTION BY BRIDES MAGAZINE: Everything in this black-and-white photograph, from the tree-lined country road to the vintage Renault convertible, says “Bon Voyage!” Vidal caught this crisp image of a newlywed couple (chauffeured by her father, who's hidden from view) on a warm July evening from the car behind them. The great setting and situation was captured in a very straightforward way. Long lens, clean, straighforward, classic.

The tunnel that the couple is walking through is so grand and enchanted. The photographer has framed the bride and groom in the opening. Classic and simple always works.

This is such a sweet moment. The man's face is literally “lit up” with joy.

Photographer's Comment

The beauty of each wedding is you never know what little "gems" you'll find. I was walking around the brides amazing antique limo to get into the car when her father walked up. I immediately focused on his face and framed the bride into the picture. It was a tender moment between the two and instantly became one of my all time favorite car pictures.

There are so many ways to sweep a bride off her feet. Why not a piggy-back ride? You can tell this bride and groom like to have fun.

This image is so festive with all the sparkling bubbles. The bride and groom look surprised and joyful. Again, I know, "bubbles", but it really was shot well. Nice moment of each member of the couple. Clean and solid.
