The Wedding

Writing
A 3D collage made with magazine clippings and painted landscape shows a bride and groom posing for a photo. The bride is a white woman with long, dark hair pulled back wearing a pearl necklace and a white dress holding a bouquet of white flowers. The groom is a white man with short, dark hair and a goatee wearing a white dress shirt, white dress pants, and a boutonnière with a white flower. They are standing in a patch of greenery and pink flowers. On one side of the couple is a multi level wooden house with a top level porch and railing. On the other side of the couple is a very modern-looking house with a wooden porch and walls made of windows. In the background is snow for miles with some pine trees in the distance and white clouds in the sky.
