 From a wedding I shot this weekend. Probably took some of the best shots of my life all told. This one was literally a fluke as the bride was walking away from me past a window, naturally lighting one side of her.
I would like to say congrats to Antony & Lisa, we (Alex Saberi & I) had a great days shooting.

This.Is.Stunning.

I like how the white of the dress is just on the verge of over exposure, but never really crosses the line.

Think you're cutting it pretty close calling this one low-key, but technically it guess it is. Certainly pushed the envelope trying to make a bride's dress low-key. Good exposure and composition.

good lighting, but the picture looks like a cut-out from something big an interesting. i am not saying that you cropped it, do not take it literally.

Very nice. I like the diagonal sense of this image. The lacing in the back adds a bit of texture. Great low key for sure. 8
