I had the pleasure of helping shoot Julia and David on their wedding day. We did some shots before the ceremony - this is one of them. It really helps when the bride is gorgeous. :-)

Woot! 13th! Really is my favorite placing. No one from 1-12 is allowed to get a DQ now, 'k??
P.S. I don't know if she likes it or not - she hasn't seen it. But as a non-portrait type of photographer, I'm really pleased with it.
No additional lighting or reflectors.

I knew this would do well. I had no idea it was yours since you don't normally do portraits. Congrats on your high finish. It's a beautiful shot. Well balanced and the border is just right.
As you SHOULD be pleased with it. She will love it! And I'd say wedding photography -- if you like it -- is very much a go for you in the future! Congratulations on your favorite 13th placing :) And I'm allll for the "no dq's please" :)
What I really liked about this was how it looked like she was glowing. She beautifully stands apart from the environment. Such a wonderful shot! I'm sure she will love having this. Congrats on a great finish!
Wow lovely. I see a wedding photographer in the making. ;) The bride is gorgeous, but it also helps when the photographer has such a soft touch!!! I love the soft foggy background and the beautiful definition in her arms. She is beautiful.
WOW DEB . !!
gorgeous shot . love the bride and love the excellent place you've taken this .. the grass is a fantastic environment and i love your processing .. :)
I like this idea. I can't really say anything is wrong with it. Personally, I would have cropped it to about a 2x6 ratio with the bride filling the frame, that's just me. Nice capture.
