Beautiful!
I love the low POV chosen and the resulting popping blue sky. Congrats to the model and to the skills of the photographer.

Thanks for the kind words all, I really appreciate it!

The light was beautiful at that moment and the rich blue of the sky really complimented the white dress. It was just a matter of exposing properly so as not to blow the highlights for the clothing and a little reflection from a silver reflector 5-6 feet away to soften the shadows.
