Great shot! Her flowers are beautiful but I find the stems near her arm a little distracting.
The lighting is awesome too and she makes a gorgeous bride.
Well done :)

I was concerned about the stem of the flowers as well when I saw it. Noted already about it for this saturday's wedding!!!

Thanks Krystle

It's a nice bridal shot... just needs a few little adjustments to make it shine:
The stray hairs on her chest and forehead are a bit distracting.
Needs a little bump in contrast as well.
The WB is a little off, so I cooled it down a little, too
I did a quick edit, since you have "Image editing OK" on....
Everything above, plus a quick clean up and a tad bit of sharpening :)

Julie, that's a great edit. I do the same. If the WB is off, I fix that first and then I sharpen. For that show, the contrast needed to be bumped up and the image itself sharpened to the point of not glowing the light parts. Very nice capture, and great edit.
