It's a wonderful shot that I am sure the couple will cherish but from one photographer to another there are a couple of things that need to be pointed out. It's a minor point, but the shot is just slightly overexposed. This is easy to spot in the whites of the brides dress and the grooms shirt where there are areas that lack any detail. You have to keep in mind what your camera is exposing for (either spot metering or overall) and make adjustments as needed. But again, this is a minor point as you have got what is most important and in the end that is all the couple will care about.
The other thing I notice is that it looks like the groom is about to lift the bride to carry her. Did you shoot a fraction to soon? or too late? That would have been the better shot and if you missed that the couiple may not be as forgiving.

Hi LeeR...

Thanks for the comments.. Yea I guess it was too overexposed to the dress of both wedding couple..

Well, this shot is like the groom wanted to lift the bride but they look each other and smiled.. I hope you get what I mean LeeR..

Btw, thanks again.. Will keep ur advice in my mind

beautiful capture. i like the expressions of the couple. they look so happy.
leeR is right tho about the exposure. the bridal gown is washed out but with some details.
am sure you cannot reshoot so a little patience in photoshop can save it. select the gown, all the whites, including the groom's clothes and put it in another layer and set blending to multiply to increase detail, adjust with curves or levels and flatten.
just a suggestion.

I love this! Agree it's a little over exposed, but they look great, the crop is great and I love their outfits.
