I think they are gorgeous. the bride is stunning, and the groom is cute to, but the match eachother very well. If i was them i would be very happy, very very happy with these photos. If this is your first time, then I cant wait to see more :)

Great job Sonny, I love the deep colors and the crisp contrast. I'm very impressed with No. 4. You really know how to draw the attention to the couple.

Thanks Jessika and Mt. Olympus for the encouraging comments.
It was fun doing the shoot and and great experience. I still need to learn how to better interact with the couple and direct them to do what you want them to do.

Great eyes. I noticed a couple but not all of them. Thanks for pointing them out. I'll clone them out in the larger version. Appreciated your comments.

Thanks harroz, tnicol and shanstar. I hope I can have a chance to do more in the near future. It's definitely different than shooting sports :D
