Simply put, this photo was taken with my "sniper lens" (Canon 70-200mm F2.8 IS lens) near sunset. My philosophy for this kind of photography is to pose the couple, walk away, use the "sniper lens" and then encourage them to be natural and simply interact. The backlit glow around the subjects adds more interest to the photograph by adding to the sense of "being in love" that is obvious in the bride's smile.

Nice example of backlighting enhancing the mood of a photo; excellent job on the exposure.

Nice balance between the backlight and fill. I bet the happy couple is thrilled with this.

Nice photo. I would like to see the crop just a little lower to reveal all of her hand.

Great shot that would have even been better with tighter cropping

Nice image - Nice and simple - Maybe has more of a personal feel rather than a public one.
