  • Wow. The lighting and the composition were great. I really liked the mood of this picture. I thought the photographer did a nice job of backing up and letting the environment do the work. Very nice picture of an event that can sometimes be mundane.
  • Itʼs not all about the cake in this beautiful, otherworldly scene of enviable opulence. Even better is how it frames, and leads our eyes to, a nice moment between the wedding couple and their cake.
