Wedding photoshoot in France

The bride as ballerina - an intriguing story augmented by the detail in the dress and veil and also by the rich, dark tones.

It's a beautiful shot, but for me, the pose evokes a feeling that she's going to be sacrificed, which I guess she is in a sense, but it just feels a bit eerie to me. Perhaps I would like it better if the groom was behind her, with his shoulder supporting her head. Regardless, it's a very unique wedding shot, and I can't imagine the bride not liking it. Beautiful detail and tones, as Michael points out.

Great location for this type of image. The wardrobe styling and lighting is magazine quality. I'll have to agree with Bill Jordan when it comes to the pose. It is a bit over exaggerated, unless of course she has just be stood up at the alter. I do realize that there may have been restrictions as to which angle to shoot from and I'm sure this was shot from many angles but for me...I prefer an up shot rather than a down shot. With that said, I still think it's a beautiful image worthy of a brides wedding album.

Very beautiful image, it just never occur to me that it's a wedding shot. Love it though! TFS!

Had Dmytro shot this photo from below, we wouldn't be seeing the bride's face. The result would have been materially different.

Wedding photography is so tough, trying to stand out in a sea of people with cameras makes it difficult.
I have to agree, it is an awkward position she is in and what I don't feel comfortable with the way she is positioned disrupts the flow.
