This could have been a fashion shot. It was a nice pose and expressive. This image had a nice feel to it. The expression on the brides face is wonderful. An unusual pose with great light, a great expression and great body language. Nice pose for bride. Unpredictable. Nice pose on the feet and happy look on the bride.

Nice lighting in a classic pose. Great use of natural light and the stained glass window adds nice color without overpowering the image.

This is a beautiful portrait and the texture of the wall makes a nice backdrop that does not interfere with the subject. Beautiful portrait of bride. Beautiful lips hidden behind the sheer veil; subtle expression; nice pose and wonderful three-toned picture (with brown, yellow, white). Very nice.

Great facial expression and body language. Another lovely moment with veil sweeping over the happy face. Nice, simple background makes the bride stand out elegantly.

Nice image of bride walking in wilderness. Would have liked a frame showing the other leg. A real fairy tale feel. I like the dark background so the bride stands out but there is still detail in her white dress.

Interesting moment of bride and horse. Nice use of the animal as a prop, the bride's body language, the composition and tone give the image a real vintage feel.

Bride doesn't seem ready for the camera but a good moment came out of it. Bride looks stunning with nice background. Nice frame.
