Top 7 of 2010: #5

In July, Danielle, one of my best friends from high school was married at The Point Lookout Resort in Northport. While I wasn't hired to shoot this wedding, I couldn't resist bringing my camera along even as a guest. I loved the pictures from her gorgeous wedding, but this shot of her bouquet is one of my all time favorite shots, not only because of its beauty, but also the story.

Peonies are a spring flower. July is not in the spring. But Dani was determined to have a peony bouquet for her wedding. So in the spring she cut the bulbs, wrapped them in newspaper, stuck them in the fridge, and prayed her heart out that they would bloom when the time came. And they did. And they were perfect. So, here is my number 5 favorite photo of the year, congrats again Dani on both the wedding and the gorgeous bouquet!
