At this time the makeup session had already finished. The veil had been placed and the bride was waiting for the groom enter the room. Several games were being played just outside the apartment where the groom had to undertake certain 'challenges', as stipulated by family members before he was allowed entry to 'free' the bride. For the first time that day the easy-going bride seemed apprehensive. She made frequent adjustments to her gown to ensure that everything looked right.
I kept a conversation going with her in order to ease the tensions and made photographs along the way. There was a little child waiting in the room with her and when he parted the curtains to watch the groom perform his antics, I decided to take the shot. In the end, I hoped the photo would capture the grace and beauty of the bride and also reveal the feelings she had at that time.
