 This is a much loved friend of mine and her long awaited and much prayed for new husband. Her father is in front of them providing their first communion together. I was a guest at her wedding and since I snapped about 80 pic's in 30 minutes I chose not to use a flash. Most of my shots are blury due to the lighting conditions but I was happy with this one. Do wedding shots get clumped with kid shots and cat shots when it comes to the receiving low votes due to subject matter? I guess I'll see.

Shot in Raw. Raw conversions - crop, dodge, burn, minor cloning, color variations, levels, USM, saturation, selective color, save for web.

Woah... Aimee... this is gorgeous! I would imagine the bride and groom are well pleased with this result. I'm with yanko, how could anybody not like it? If I ever get married again ;P I'll know who to call!

Beautiful work, Aimee. This has a softness, elegance, and peaceful beauty to it that I doubt they'll see in their "professional" shots.

I think this is a very persona; and emotive shot and I think you did really well under the conditions you had. Well done Aimee, as I liked this one a lot.....
