Well, I said it before and I'll say it again - this is a very lovely capture of this beautiful blushing bride! I used to do weddings when I worked in video. And SO MUCH is the expression you catch (or, fail to catch!) You did a terrific job with this! Also, the light glowing on her hair and on her dress -- "priceless!" Great job, Laura!

You have captured both the bride and groom beautifully Laura, a moment they will treasure forever, that's for sure and I love it because it's not one of those typical posed wedding shots. Lovely work Laura.

Wow, leaving negative comments and you know what Sis, they don't come back to see the results. Somebody left a comment on one of my images so I rectified it... and BOTH pictures got an EP lol. The so called distraction didn't bother the judge. I wished I have seen the original so I would know what you did to improve the image.

Beautiful candid shot, Laura! Love the happy look on the bride and groom's faces! She really does look like Cinderella! Sounds like a beautiful wedding! I didn't see the original pic either so I have nothing to compare it to ... but I think this one is fantastic! Great work, Sis! :)

You know what my friend I don't remember what I said, that is why I don't lie, I could not defend myself. However, I do remember, is the previous quality was not up to your usual standards. This is real clear, sharp detail and composed perfectly. I could never capture white worth a hoot but you did here. Outstanding in that you have captured the emotion of joy. That rounds the scene out pretty good I think. Job well done.

WOW Laura, you have stepped out of the box with this gorgeous bride. The lighting highlights her as a definate 'Cinderella' of the wedding! Outstanding composition. And when a photographer captures the emotions of the moment...it is a masterpiece! Bravo!!! a fav!!! 8o)

Laura- Two things Ilove about this photo that stand out for me other than the obvious beautiful colors, excellent clarity, fabulous lighting. First of all you went and got yourself some experience doing a photo shoot of something new to you. I can almost bet you tried different settings and tried to look for the best shot. The learning process never ends so I applaud your efforts to improve yourself. Secondly, you did what many professions fail to do as far as I'm concerned when it comes to portraits. You captured the real moment. The real birde and groom. You can just feel their joy and happiness, you can see it on their faces. This is real. So Bravo my dear friend. You did an outstanding job of picture taking and learning. Have a wonderful day, do enjoy.

You really did capture the 'moment'and that is what the majority of event and documentary style photography is all about. I bet this will be one of their favorites! You obviously have a way with people. It shows!

Well, you sure got a beautiful shot of the occation, SSSL! Look at all the shining details of that lovely wedding gown. Very well captured!! And I love the way the Groom is leading the Bride on their new path together and off course letting her beauty shine on their way. A very successful wedding picture. A picture I'm sure they'll treasure forever.

It WAS a dream wedding Renee. Down to every last detail. It was in black and white and pink! Striking! Done by a wedding planner. The Wedding Place ITSELF was SO POSH and elaborate! Grand Staircase, Classic Ornate Pillars...DOMED CHAPEL with etched glass windows...All in creams and tans! WOW! The dining room was spacious with two walls of windows (W&S) and it had a fireplace with overstuffed couches there... and tables dressed in black and white and pinks...chairs covered in white silky material with huge black bows at the backs... Even the ladies room. It was so colorful and elaborate that a person could have spent all day there, too!!! :) !!! It was a delightful day and it was not only their dream wedding but we all got to enter into the fantasy! Thanks Renee and all of you for stopping in to appreciate this one. -Laura

Hi Ladies! Karen, you mean the first two! This is the 3rd contest post of this image!!! 2 very good photographers gave me some off the cuff constructive advice on my first contest posting/s and this image was made even better than before. I am grateful to all concerned. Thanks Kalena! -Lala * Thank you Sherran. It really is. Originally I shot in natural warm lighting which made lightening it up complicated but worth it. Appreciate the visits! -Laura

Capturing the lovely princess with such joy radiating from her face, and getting the WHITE RIGHT!! Two exceptional - and beautiful - accomplishments, Pom! And, it was quite interesting to read the thread. People's observations, yay or nay, frequently indicate more about them than about the person they're writing to (in this case - you). Whatever "corrections" you made to your original post of 2009 certainly worked. It's a splendid candid shot. And I bet the bride and groom were delighted with whatever version you gave them!!
