Anyone bored and want a go at an edit on this? (click for full size converted from raw)
the light was pretty tough, not sure what else I could have done ... maybe swapping the couple so the guy was in the slightly more direct would have been a good idea (or a couple of flash guns!)

Personal opinion/rant:
Sometimes we are way too fussy about getting the perfect light.
That scene was in bright sunshine and it looks very natural and real just the way it is.
WE see deep shadows and some blown out details on the dress, but any non-photographer would see a nice photo of a romantic scene. I bet the bride and groom would be quite happy with it.
*End of rant*
I'm sure someone skilled will come along soon and rescue this horrible shot ;-)

Thank you Beetle ... I think we as photographers need to be told that more often as I completely agree :)

Not surprisingly, I disagree. It needs a little sumpin sumpin for the sake of drama.
