Wow, that's a setting. Great subtle colors, only offered up by that golden-light time when you're surrounded by water by the sea. Very nice.

What a wonderful romantic shot. The white wedding dress, red/brown hat, standing so close together, light on the water, sky tones, water texture, boats & pier in the distance - all blend very nicely.

One for the happy couple's wall. Nicely captured and processed.

Beautiful scene. IMO the couple are too far to the right, my eye is drawn to the rocks in front of them; however, I am sure the B&G loved this image.. Beautiful color. (voted earlier)

Wonderful scene. Did this need to look HDR'd? That is my only criticism. 9 :)

Artfully composed, although his hand in his pocket kind of takes away from the "facing the world together now" I think I should be feeling.

Wonderfully done shot. If I were this couple, I would just love having this in my wedding album.

Fantastic wedding picture!! I'm sure the couple loved it! I would have cropped out the rock on the bottom though, it's a little distracting - my gaze dropped down to that first before I found the couple.

maybe pull into the couple a bit more, the future doesn't have to look THAT vast.

Lovely wedding shot and great exposure control. Feels a little heavy on the right and the white water sparkles lower right I would have cloned out - but these are only minor.

I feel like the newlyweds get a bit lost in the cluster on the right, the port draws the attention away as well as the two ships behind them. Perhaps a slightly lower angle would make them stand out more above the horizon.

Now, I know who this belongs to, so not voting on it. Love the splash of water bottom right.

wat a great sky and setting! i would maybe try cropping off a bit of the foreground, but all in all awesome.. 9

I would have cropped out that weird-looking thing in the middle of the very bottom of the shot as my goes straight to it but otherwise, it's a lovely shot. Pretty lilac hues in the sky, the water looks nice and the couple are in clear focus despite their distance. Very nice shot.

Looking towards the future. I like this.

Nice wedding shot, I do however feel that the pier and boats kind of detract from it. Personally I would have gone through the trouble and edited them out, especially the boat coming out of the brides head, leaving just the couple, the islands/mountains at the horizon and the water/cliffs that they are on. Like I said, nice shot, taken at the exact right time of day, I gave an 8 but might have been a 10 without the boats/pier.
