One more shot frome the wedding with the "shining" bride.

I am a real sceptic. I do not believe in God or in religion, therefore I always feel misplaced in a church, although I think churches are beautiful in their architecture and I love the calm and special mood that there is in a church. I think many people get married just to throw a big party and wear a fancy dress. So many people give eachother the vows and still they end up in divorce.

But during this ceremony, even a sceptic like myself got some tears in my eyes. I am also an uncurable romantic.

Everything was beautiful, the church, the bride and groom, the flowers, the light, the priest wasreally good too. But most of all I could see their genuine and true feelings for eachother and it was clear that this was more than an excuse to throw a party or wear that fancy dress.

I think this photo captured the scenery very well. The two lovers have just given eachother their promises and he is about to put the ring on her finger.

Maybe I don't believe in God, but I am a true romantic and this was more romatic than any Hollywood movie. This was real.

Hello Frida. On the one hand an everyday life photo, on the other hand a photographic document to the wedding. The atmosphere is wonderfully caught. The composition, excellent light, the warm colors etc. is exemplary. The photo is beautiful and worth seeing. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Hello Frida,

Best regards,

Hi Frida,
oh my god, what are they doing here ;D
no, I think itīs just the moment to tell the world: "we want to stay together"..
you managed sharpness, light and colours very well, seems to be a movie scene, compliments, Chris

I like it in many ways (it is a very warm shot), but not one. The groom has one foot outside that circle on the carpet and it makes me feel that he has one foot already outside his marriage. I'm sure I'm wrong, but.....

I fixed it in the workshop.

Hello Frida,
this is a warm and beautiful moment of those couple that you captured in a fine way.you show the atmosphere well in point of tranquility and its serenity.
Your note say that you are Romantic although I know you a long time ! and you said twice that you don't believe the GOD,maybe this says that you beleive the GOD ?!
:)
To believe or not maybe not important,although I believe,but to be " good " and to have a big heart and to be " Human " is enough......the GOD is in your Heart :)
Best Wishes
