Nice image, I think the crop is to tight here & the image doesn't seem sharp.

She's just a tad OOF. Otherwise this shot is really nice.

The flash doesn't work for me... and the angle is too low to be a really pleasing photo... but the memory was captured and treasured, I'm sure.

Nice idea but her face is not really visable and the focus is kind of off.

Is it the lack of intimacy?

I swear the window frame (the "X" behind them) is more in focus than the B&G are... I know, it's difficult. The camera wants to focus on the highest contrast that is nearest the AF point. And it's so difficult to see what it locked on inside the viewfinder...

As for the theme... I think a little closer ... the "almost kiss" would have conveyed intimacy a little better.

Things to improve: The focus as already mentioned. The flash output. The good thing is that the flash is above the camera. The bad thing is that it caused the bouquet to cast shadows on the bride. A more diffused light source would have solved that. (bouncing the light off the ceiling, for example)
