Lens-Artists Photo Challenge – Old & New
Thanks to Amy for this week’s ‘Old & New’ photo challenge. See Amy’s post HERE. Amy’s challenge is to capture ‘old’ and ‘new’ in a single shot.
In September 2017, MB attended the wedding of some friends in Byblos, Lebanon. The wedding service took place in the Crusader-era Church of St John-Mark. So that’s the ‘old’. The ‘new’ was of course the marriage of David and Myriam starting a new life together as a new family unit.
A flavour of the old and new from that day:

Excellent. I too love the dress train in the doorway. Enigmatic.

Thanks John. I’m pretty sure that’s the first ‘enigmatic’ compliment any of my posts ever received! #headswelling

Lovely set of images but I especially loved the disappearing bridal gown. Perfection!

Thanks for comment Tina. Have attended a few Lebanese weddings and tend to get ‘used’ as an extra (free!) photographer, which I’m always happy to do. Always try to capture the bride/dress disappearing into the church, which is always well received by the couples – end of the old life, start of the new. Thanks again.

These are beautiful photos, especially the second and third images. And, the wedding showing the contrasts of the new and old. All are beautifully captured.
