We try to create one of these shots on almost every shoot. The idea is to get wide angle shots with a shallow depth of field (blurry background and foreground). This is done by taking many photos of a subject and stitching them together in post. Imagine a photo is made up of puzzle pieces and each one of those pieces is an individual high resolution photo. When the puzzle is complete it makes up one large high resolution photo with the option of having a shallower depth of field than is optically possible with a 35mm digital sensor. Given that each photo is made up of dozens of photos stitched together it can be challenging to visualize the final product in the field and we don't get to see the results till we get home and do some work on the image.
I found a few photos on my computer that had not yet been processed. These are the results.

Naomi and Daniel Engaged
in Engagement, Portraits, Winter
I'm pretty excited about this one because this lovely bride-to-be, Naomi, is my sister! We took this fantastic couple to Perth, Ontario and took some photos in Big Ben Park (Stewart Park) and a coffee shop close by called Coutts and Co. The shop is located in this great building called Code's Mill, made of fantastic old stone and has some pretty nice windows to perch on for some fun photos. I may be biased but I think this couple is great and I can't wait to shoot your wedding, Naomi and Daniel.
