  • I really like this photo. It's fun and natural. I wish it were framed tighter. The faces make this photo and coming in tighter would have made more of an impact. This photo has it all that encompasses the bridal party franticly getting themselves together before the wedding. The girl brushing her teeth is great. Each person is doing something different. I like the angle of the photo and the use of available light. I feel cramped up in that little bathroom with them.
