This reminds me of the dress my bride wore 38 years ago. She is as beautiful now as she was then. What a memory has been made with this photo. One never realizes the impact of such a photo until years later when she and her husband reminisce about 'That time in their lives'. Memories.....THE Most Important things that we all remember as we approach the end. Well done ~ Steve

    Thank you for the kind review. How wonderful I cold stir a memory of years gone by with the remembrance of your bride. Wow! 38 years ago. Love, the sands of time all seem to slip and fade so very fast. It is a blessing that we are able to capture our moments in photographs.

this dress looks amazing, and it is a very important memory, i love how you hid yourself out of the mirror, but this dress looks stunning on her, and im sure her dad would be so proud

Beautiful. Perfect placement of everything. Excellent lighting and detail. The back of the dress draws your eyes down to the train. Great job!

How could this be anything but perfect! The dress and bride are beautiful and you captured them perfectly. Focus is great, lighting is awesome and the mother on the couch is great! What a memory this will be, great job! Thanks for sharing this special moment.

I like your shot very much. It is technically well done with good focus and exposure. The centering here works. I'm being picky here, but this image would be more impactful if there were a little something more to tell a story. A pair of tennis shoes on the floor in the foreground, someone straightening the dress, her with her head back laughing. There is nothing wrong with this shot at all, but something personal to elevate it from other wedding gown shots would make it sing.

How thoughtful you are. I am certain your niece will appreciate the consideration and thoughtfulness you have put into capturing this moment in time. It will go well with her wedding memories when she is putting together her book. Great clarity, composition, awesome perception. Thank you so much for sharing.

    Thank You so very much for your encouraging review. I do hope she will look back and remember but for me it truly was a honor to be here. Also she did say Yes! to this dress. This will be the one she wears.

    Thank you for your very encouraging review and comments. It sure was a day full of laughter. Yes, this is the one she chose. How wonderful you went through this a short 2 years ago. I still have yet to go through this with my daughter. No hurry here. My daughter is the maid of honor to my neice here Alina. I was sad she could not get the day off, but it was only a try on day not a for sure let's buy day. I should of seen this coming. All wrapped up in the thrill and the moment of Say Yes! To the Dress!!!
