This was my first wedding shoot. It went okay. I really liked the moment captured in this shot. As the bride had her make-up touched up by her friend while the bridesmaids watched.
The poise of the bride and the gaze of the bridesmaids made this just a fun capture.
Learned a few lessons. Should have had a polarizer as instead of the forecasted rain we got uber-sunny sunlight.
We later moved locations so as to have the sun as our back. But this shot along the way was definitely one of my favorite captures.

I really like the context of the action here. Great eye movement from left to right. There is something strange about the colors though, almost of the red dresses have too much brightness but not enough contrast? Curious if fill flash was used, or if the exposure was fixed in post? Still a great photo where the compostion and idea really shine through.
The moment of the bride preparing last minute touches is beautiful and will enhance the bride's memories of her special day. All the ladies are lovely and the natural setting is too. I'm wondering if the capture would have been more poignant of an angle where you are standing more to the right and closer to the bride with all the bridesmaids facing you and with the sun behind you? The sun's angle is to the right of you which appears to cast slight shadows across your models. Otherwise, a lovely moment captured for a timeless bride's memory.
I love girl's expressions!! :) really wonderful capture, and a great moment. the lighting is good too. just the trees look a bit distracting, I wonder how it would look like with only gree grass a sa background?
nice idea, but a tad bit over-exposed. i would have been tempted to do something with the sky, as well; that washed out emptiness could use a little something.
Looks like the wedding day was lovely! For me, this image is a little bland (sorry) I can see so many beautiful 'models' and lovely poses of flowers. I'd have been tempted to get in closer on these things :o)
