Out of the camera.

So many reasons why this is the best of 2007. Trash-the-Dress took my business to a whole new level and place and this was the very first shoot. Its out of the camera perfect. Awesome location, awesome friend, awesome little girl.

Plus, it does that one thing that makes it qualify as best of the year (and is my only rule every year I do this): it makes my heart squeeze a little every time I look at it knowing I nailed it. :)

it is a pity the little girl looks so sulky and the bride is not relly making any eyecontact because the composition and is good.

Victoria's lost expression really makes this shot. bold composition. Tara's easy smile gives us a sense of hope.

I really like the image, maybe it is me but it looks like the bride and girl have a green tint.

Nice Framing and composition. I am starting to dabble in Wedding photography and one of my concerns is the bleaching in the dress as you go to processing. Unforetunately I do not have an answer other than shooting in NEF (RAW) has you have better control of the white balance during post shot processing. Other then the bleaching in the dress, this is still a good image. Nice lighting and focus. Good Luck. 7.

A sweet photo, although it looks like they are hiding from something. :)
