I've seen the other photos of the same event: they are very well done.

However, this one is less flattering for your subject. And the main reason is the light that is too harsh and unnatural. It is like the subject was actually "photoshopped" i.e. cut from an indoor photo and placed on this sunset scene. Post-processing here is not a great option but you can try to balance the light a bit and soften the whole image (see my attachment - results could be much better if processing RAW and not JPEG).

A slightly softer light and less focused on the subject would have been better. And a secondary lower intensity light on the right (to soften the shadow of her hand on the face) would have been perfect.I know that you will say that the conditions did not allow a complex lighting scheme - I imagine three people in the water with camera, fill flash and diffusing umbrellas... Not an easy task.

But you managed the light with more skill in the other settings and the results are better.

Please take my comments with a grain of salt: I'm not a professional photographer and even less a wedding one. So, my opinion is from a viewer perspective nevertheless subjective.

By the way, your portfolio is very well rounded and impressive. I like a lot and I will keep an eye on you new additions.

Thanks for sharing.
