Shoes, shoes, shoes. I don't know about you, but I sometimes need some new ideas when it comes to photographing such details (pretty though they are). So, show us your most creative shoe shot and inspire all of us!

Remember contest rules are posted here.

    My only wedding, for a former coworker. She very excitedly told me she had found the 'perfect' purple shoes. I was disappointed on the day - to find out they weren't hawt stiletto's but rather wedges :(

    She had two pairs: these for the ceremony and red super-high heels for the reception.

    Fall wedding shoe shot. This was actually shot at the beach, hence the sand.

    Wait till you see the shot I got last weekend.
    I love shoe shots at weddings for me it is good luck. I shot a reception for a friend last weekend It was getting late and I didn't have a shoe shot when I saw the bride and her friends pointing at one of their shoes and this is what happened.

    I don't think this is contest worthy but this is a pretty fun image of a shoe

    Wonderful entries everyone! I seriously had a hard time choosing favorites, but here they are:

    #1: cj99si: I loved this shot because it captures the details of the bride's shoes in a natural setting. The lighting is beautiful and the little flower girl's shoe completes the story. Perfect!
    737917065_ERBut-L-1.jpg


    #2: Zoomer: Ha, this shot is awesome! You not only captured a very cute moment of the little ring bearer, but you also managed to highlight the details of the shoes. (though, I'm not sure they're the bride's shoes..)
    811392772_5WkbJ-XL.jpg

    #3: MooglePepper: Love the creativity of this one...the execution is perfect. Well done.
