Great shot! Is this all natural light? What lens did you use?

Thank you all! I wish I could have gotten more details of the dress. If anyone has suggestions on how to do that, I'm all ears. It was around 3pm broad daylight. The AZ sun is quite harsh. He face would be too underexpose if I exposed for the dress.

dont think the trees are a big deal since your wonderful lens blur them out like crazy anyway :P i think it's good as it is. if you had to, put it on a tripod and shoot two shots, one exposed for trees, another exposed for model, merge together, semi-HDR style but don't make it look HDR

Great shots. That 200L is a crazy piece of glass. My recommendation on the second is to try and bring back some of those highlights on the dress. Also, maybe try dropping the saturation on the blue channel? It will help bring the wedding dress back to white instead of a slight blue hue.

Assuming these are raw files, getting control of the highlights should be quick work in LR 4.

If it were my image, I'd spend some time toning down the sun highlight under her left breast in the first image. Its distracting. Otherwise the image is outstanding.
