Default Wedding Shots

In order to practice taking natural light wedding photos I borrowed my neighbor's girl as a model, put my wedding dress on her, made a boquet and veil and took some photos. Here is one of my favorites.

Hi Lorraine and "Welcome" to this excellent community, I hope you enjoy your time here,
Love the image, nicely taken and composed, lighting is subtle but maybe a little dark on the left hand side of her face. Personally I think you have done a really nice job with this and you should be very proud of it.
Thank you for sharing it with us, I look forward to seeing me soon.
David

Hi Lorraine and welcome .. now this is what I call - "getting down and dirty." ... if you want to do something the correct way ... set up your own bride ... I tip my hat off to you Lorraine .. and kudos to the "bride" for going along with the idea .. and I love the outcome

Hello Lorraine, welcome to DPS. Well you'd be hard pressed to find a prettier pretend bride, she looks gorgeous, and so does your picture. I like the focus, detail, lighting and shadows, well done you, and don't let your model stray too far, you'll be needing her again
