Group Double Engagement garden party (May 2022)

Since I had a broken wrist this May, I'm sharing a year old photoset that wouldn't have been taken without the support of three amazing friends and proud owners (Belle Jingly, Gobloch, Fëa). Sorry for the outdatedness.

@animemom Thank you very much! It's much better now. I hope to make some more photos this summer.
@melie59 Thank you. I like a realistic setting for a photo shoot. It's important for me to draw the person looking at the photo in, as if they were part of it all.
@Kakaotee Thank you so much! That's exactly what I was trying to do. To make it like a dream you don't want to wake up from.
@Havra Thank you! I really appreciate your beautiful words.
@saraquill Thank you! It would be better if I had better control of my camera.
@AlisonVonderland Thank you very much! Your words made me very happy! My photos would be better if I owned a tripod. Keeping a longer time in hand is difficult.It's very important for night photography. I don't really control my camera well enough to be happy with it, and it wouldn't be good without additional editing of shadows etc. I recommend reading some articles on the internet about night photography. It has given me a lot. I would use more light sources and reflective surfaces next time. Our light sources were real tiny oil lamps, two paper lanterns, 4-5 strings of xmas lights, and a flashlight behind the sheets. And a reflective board. It needed some more lights...
@Idoru Thank you so much! I like to plan every big photo shoot ahead of time and come up with the details, props and colour schemes. Studying other BJD photographers' photos has given me a lot in this regard.
@CheshireCat Thank you very much! I'm glad you like it. I've spent a lot of time preparing of the details, as well as what the scene should look like. Of course, in real life, it'll turn out a little differently. So the moment it got dark enough that all the lights spread out in the garden made the scene magical, I ran out of card space in my camera. I wanted to cry. I'm laughing about it today. But it's funny how every great photo session includes obstacles that you don't foresee but can learn from. However, I still remember this evening as the most beautiful BJD event I've organized with my friends.However, keeping a longer time in hand is difficult.

The hand is much better now, thank you. I like to focus on realism and dreaminess.
