The limo shot is surely one of the most played out images in the repertoire of the wedding photographer. We’ve watched its value dissolve from an elegant moment of anticipation into a saccharin-filled tool of second-rate studios across the country. Elizabeth does a wonderful job restoring integrity to this theme. Played as confrontational and mysterious instead of joyous and sentimental, the gaze from the bride becomes a durable portrait – a statement about who she is, instead of how she felt. There’s a nice bit of integrity there, enhanced by the thoughtful composition and that bit of hair falling in the her face. It just tells you, this picture’s about the honesty of it all.
