I too consider brides an attractive photo subject, esp. on the street. You have capitalized on the opportunity very well, Renier. The pov and vertical composition are excellent. Well done. Regards,

Hi Renier,
The wonderful 19th century details to the courthouse makes a beautiful backdrop for the white wedding day. The b&w treament gives this portrait a timeless feel. Very clear lighting and exact sharpness to this happy occasion.

Hi Renier,
Excellent photo of the bride. The B&W brings out her white dress very well against the dark, decorated city hall entrance. Good inclusion of the tall gate too. Well seen and thanks for sharing!

It is fun when opportunity knocks, Renier. It would have been an engaging doorway, in any case, but the bride certainly adds to the sparkle. Nicely done; good detail and perspective. I like the POV. Too bad the top of the arch is cut off, but one seldom can have everything. Good shot.

Regards,
Jim

Hello Renier,

Beautiful, graceful photo. This scene is the best example of elegance. Not only is the subject beautiful as a centerpiece, the surrounding building provides a good backdrop. I also like the ornate stonework at the top. I like the strong use of shape, angle and curvature which adds plenty of extra character to the image, elevating it from an ordinary wedding photo.

Hi Renier,
She seems to be posing, probably the official wedding photographer was around! The B&W gives a 1950's impression and low POV gives an interesting angle on the buiding... WS is a good addition.
Cheers

Hello Renier,

Interesting shot in black and white. The bride is an excellent subject in this image. The details on the building also look great...Interesting image for me since today I spent the afternoon taking pictures of two couples. Weding pictures are a challenge but also fun to take. Thanks Renier.

Hi Renier!!Ηoo!!! yes is a marvellous building, your picture even from distance impresses as much as the door and the bride. Believes the Sity Hall has very good and important architecture and in particular a lot of interest

Hi Renier,
The WS shows the beauty of the building much better; however, your decision to zoom in on the bride in her elegant formal gown was inspired. Likewise the WS illustrates the correctness of your decision to go with B&W,

Hello Renier
She is really posing, but not for you ;) I like her posture in front of this impressive building which has great architectural details and thanks for the full view of it, in WS. The B&W is working very well for this scene.

Hi Renier,
you made a professional work! The photo in the workshop is also great! A beautiful model just for you! A bride dressed in white under a handsome building like this one. The art of timing!
This is a wonderful exposure, my friend.

Hello Renier
You’re building up an excellent B&W portfolio! Works very well here with the angled POV highlighting the arch of the gate & the bride perfectly framed. The tonalities are excellent...the grey, the white of her dress & the black on the glass door. Wonderful work & thanks for the wider view of the building in the WS...we can definitely appreciate better.
Regards
Angshu

Impressive wedding photo. This kind of shots with the bride not looking at the photograph is the best. When attending a wedding I had the task of photographing the relative couple in addition to the designated photographer. Guess what, they seemed more relaxed and finally they printed most of my shots for their wedding album! This is definitely one that you should donate to the beautiful bride!

Wondrful angle to compose this shot, with the bride's dress flowing down. The sharpness and details, the composition with the complete arch is superb.

Hello Renier,
Ahhh, this is a great composition!
Great tonality in the B&W, that I generally will say is not for bridal images but somehow it works here, probably because of the emphasis on the architecture...
