I like the casualness of this formal shot. (The washed out graffiti adds to the feel.) Age appropriate, lol. GREAT shot!

Comment by MaryO:
I don't disagree at all with your choice between those two shots. I meant more a composition where she was looking/smiling at what I thought might be the groom in the background. Sort of an, "Oh, joy, I see my beloved" pose which would cause me to think they were about to do the stereotypical run into each others' arms thing. In other words, I thought positioning her to the right of him (or what I imagined to be him) in the frame would tell a better story, in my imaginative mind ;-) But glad to hear the bride was thrilled; surely her opinion counts way more than mine! And you got some terrific shots while trashing the dress; great stuff.

Originally posted by MaryO: seriously I would compose this so she is looking into the scene, not out of it.

I had an image with her looking at the camera. I didn't find it nearly as compelling. The look off in the distance added intrigue to the image that the look at the camera missed.

I guess that "thing" in the background is the bridegroom, right ;-) Certainly looks vivid in the poster-sized print.
