That's one HUGE image! It probably is in need of some serious cropping (not just because it's large).

I guess you reloaded a smaller image...

Great idea and good lighting. Lack of feeling, though. More like "Stop there while I take your picture!" Would love to see more emotion / movement / feeling.

Also busy, busy background that becomes distracting. I LOVE the idea, though. Maybe throw the background out of focus a little more so that it's there but not so distracting? ;)

I agree about the lack of expression...wish for a more shallow DOF to focus on the couple and maybe them kissing or him dipping her or her walking and looking back at him, just something other than "Stand and smile"...

I would agree that a more shallow depth of field, some fill flash and a lower perspective would be good for this image. Try to get a more even keeled perspective.. everyone stands straight upright and points down or straight at the subject, try to change the perspective by getting down on one knee but not so far that you are shooting up their noses.. combine this with a shallow DOF and you will have this image with a much better composition

Too many logo/name watermarks. Maybe make them smaller or place them elsewhere.

all the traffic was behind me, I was stood in the middle of the road, so had very little time to grab the shot, as the horns started blasting :-)

shoot at 2.8 and drop / crop that out... too much in the distraction zones of the photo.
my eyes darts away from her (and shes the bride) to look at the people on the sidewalk, the car, the building.
