This is the first Bridal portrait I'm actually proud of (it's also the first time I was given (made) more than 5 minutes to do them.

If you have any critique or comments, I'd love to hear it!!

Nice image! It was a smart move to have her head up and to the right when using direct sunlight. Helps to diminish harsh shadows.

I totally dig this shot. It would only be 2 ounces better if the shadow to her right didn't connect with the body line. I love the colors, feel, and crop.

I like the shot, maybe just help her out a little with some subtle skin softening. It's such a dreamy portrait, that I think you could get away with it. As Spencer said, maybe photoshop that shadow back and add more depth to the photo. Overall, love the tone a feel, well done!

Direct sun is so underutilised, I like the clean defined shadows it gives.

With this light I like to make the wb a bit yellow to look sunny, may a bit of retouch on this one too.

Thanks guys, yeah Spencer, I'm a bit ticked off that I didn't pay more attention to the shadow, either have it more obvious it's her shadow (maybe shoot closer to the wall) or just move her away. Maybe I'll try to photoshop it out. I hate photoshop

Brian, I'm not sure about the skin softening, I kind of like the realism (but the bride might not

I like this image but I think I would smooth the skin a bit to soften it up and give it a more dreamy flattering look

I really love direct sunlight shots. Most people shy away from them.

I'd clean up her skin a bit, and you got yourself a winner!
