Yes, and no. This comes from a set of bridals that I did. The groom showed up for the session with his tux, so I took advantage of the opportunity. The wedding is next month. Utah weddings are very unique.

did you lighten his tux? It looks a little flat.

I like the private moment you captured. Very sweet. For me, I wish there had been just a bit more lighting overall, but a good entry into the challenge. Congratulations.

This is a fine image with great light values, terrific composure and interesting subject matter. It even stands alone without title as a celebratory image. It might even ribbon

I think if you'd have a closeup of their faces, I'd like it even more.

Pretty pose, but the photo seems a bit dark to me. Nice composition

Beautiful capture. The couple really stand out well against the background but still fit within the overall scene. Strong composition and exposure as well.

Nice moment, I love the "feel" of this picture, is it a wedding shot? It´s hard to tell since there are no flowers but I guess it doesn´t really matter. Just to nitpick , the fringes of the dress that touch the ground on both her sides seem to have blown out highlights and a blue hue that isn´t very flattering. Other than that tiny detail, nice work and very fitting for the challenge, 7 from me.

a sweet image. i wonder how this would have looked with a different dof, so that the rest of the world just faded away in their kiss...

A couple's union always makes me feel good. Ok so I'm a hopeless romantic :) Sue me :) Kidding aside, this is wonderful. I would have cloned out the leaves and kept it clean but this does the job just fine as well :)

Beautiful wedding portrait. I really like the way the curve of the walkway sweeps your eye around and back to the center of the frame. My god, they look so young to me... I must be getting old.
