Description

This portrait captured by photographer Melissa Alcena focuses on the intricate details of a bride viewed from behind. The subject features dark brown locs styled in an elaborate updo interwoven with delicate red beaded ornaments. She wears a backless halter dress detailed with a cascading vertical panel of shimmering silver crystals and floral appliqués. The soft, natural lighting illuminates the texture of her hair and the sparkle of the embellishments. In the softly blurred background, guests are partially visible beneath white fabric draping.
