Default Sunset Piggy Back

Sunset Piggy Back

My friends William and Charity got married a couple of weeks ago and this was taken the day after the wedding. In person, they have this playful vibe between the two of them and I wanted to capture that in the image. Does it work in this image? And how the lighting have been better?

I'm just a newbie, but here's my 2 cents:

I think the idea is really cute, but both of their arms (especially her right arm) make it look kind of awkward. The lighting on her is beautiful, her face and dress look great. The right side of his face is in shadow, could have used something to brighten that up. I still think it's a shot they will love. Great overall feeling, love the colors, very pretty and fun.

It works, great photo. I would not change anything.

PS: Like the "volta" in your user name, historical.

That's an awesome shot man! The lighting on the bride is great, so is the background.

if the Groom was laughing or smiling more it would be perfect.

it looks like he's complaining about something.. other than that.. good job.
