I don't shoot many weddings, but when I do I really enjoy them, not least because it's a pleasure to see so many people enjoying themselves. And I think this shot is a good example. Admittedly, the flower girl does seem to be going in a different direction to the bride, but she's clearly having fun as she 'helps' her with her dress :-)

Very nice, well captured and I really like how you have the focus on her face and expression.

At last - a real photograph ;-) ;-) ???????

I am sure your client will appreciate this moment. Just wondering how this shot would look with your LAB color or any of your specialty color processing.

Just lovely! That good old work horse 70-200 and perfect at f4!

Ahhh, that's more like it ;)
Lovely simple moment, preserved in a great B&W. Feels a bit like her eyes are a tiny bit too close to the edge of the frame but I guess it's hard to frame a perfect shot on a wayward bridesmaid who's in a hurry! I love this sort of observational stuff stuff.

Another great capture of hands and face...don't know how you manage to do this so well so consistently. FUN!!! :)
I really like it because its not your 'normal' wedding shot. the mix of in/out of focus draws your attention to the girls face as well as retaining your attention on the 'blurry' bride and bouquet.
Did you do your mono conversion in Lightroom or in Pshop?
Wedding pic for me on the blog today too! I dont do that many either, but I totally agree with you about really enjoying them when I do cover one, so many happy people in one place! Will you be posting more?

Lovely shot, a real sense of a moment captured that would otherwise have been missed by those present on the day. Love the soft tones and the shallow depth of field.

My niece is very happy with her new-found fame on the interweb!

I'm the bride and this is one of my favourites. Not only is it a beautiful photo of our flower girl but you managed to capture some of my favourite wedding 'items', the flowers and the lace on my dress, which I wouldn't have thought to request a photo of!

Andy: I'm glad she liked it.
Fran: it was one of my favourites from your wedding, so I'm glad you like it.

Lovely dof. Good b+w.
Thanks everyone.
