Glowing Bride

The best man at my wedding just got married last weekend, figured I would shoot a few photos while I was there.

Here's a behind the scenes pic of the glowing bride before her big moment.

This was the first day I really shot with the new 5D, and the first time I had really shot with a flash (normally shoot concerts, so... no flash). I know i need to figure out how to get the sky not not blow out while still using some fill. And I should have moved over to keep the door out of the shot.

C&C & Tips welcome!

I usually expose for the background and start with the flash around -2/3 as a starting point....
