 My daughter and new son-in-law at their first Christmas together as husband and wife. Little baby is growing in there somewhere too.

Shot with 2 speed lites. One on camera. One camera left.
Cut a heart shape in the middle of some black paper and taped it to the front of the lens. Gives a beautiful shaped bokeh to the Christmas tree lights.

Go here to see how it's done.

WOW. Beautiful portrait! How did you get the hearts in the background? Were they heart shaped lights?

I might be way off base, but this has the look and feel of a SandyP shot....Nicely done at any rate, great "heart bokeh"!
