Just an absolutely amazing shot. Not only is the posing and lighting spot on, but the background is perfect. The classic theater sign really helps to make the picture. Fantastic choice of location! And congrats on your DD!

Thanks. It really was a surprise. I didn't even Photoshop the power lines out of this photo because I was so lazy with it

This is such a beautiful wedding photo. The dress is absolutely lovely, and the groom looks savvy in his Marine uniform
It warms my heart
Not to mention the classic pose of the man swooping down to kiss the girl is so romantic. Seriously, great photo!

I would so hire you as a wedding photographer if 1) I was getting married and 2) I lived locally to you.
I absolutely love the original that Eisenstaedt took. I think you did an awesome spin on it. I think the lighting looks amazing as well. The only thing I would suggest is watch out on cropping. The sign that says congrats isn't all the way centered (or so it seems). I know sometimes its hard to capture parts of an image due to other surrounding distractions. Either way I love this shot!

I travel
I noticed that the sign wasn't centered in my frame after the fact and could have kicked myself. That's the only problem with shooting in the middle of an active street with a prime lens. You have to move around to get closer or further away. We did several takes of this, but in the end this one was my favorite, even with the cut off sign

I can understand, there are times after I view some of my work I notice things I wish I could change. But it also works as a learning tool because I can see how I have grown in my art, and what to avoid later.

This is cute
The only thing that I noticed that from a personal opinion I wish was different was that she seems so stiff. Other then that, this is beautiful. Congratulations to them indeed

Thanks! I frequently get comments about brides being stiff. I wonder if it is the corsets they wear
š: 0 ā©: 1
Do corsets make legs stiff? I'm not certain, because I didn't wear one at my wedding, but her leg and arm is what's so stiff. Maybe she was nervous, I would be! I'm totally not critiquing the shot though, just on a side mention she looks a little out of sorts

It just makes it a little harder to move

I like how even though it is a modern photo, it could still be taken for a 1940's photograph due to the background setting and the overall feel of the image. I really like this.

Thank you. Since she is a theater major, it seemed like the perfect place to take them for photos!
