Brother of the Bride

Simple wedding of Katie to Lewis held at Joilet Place in Pocatello, Idaho.

The solitude of the two is very striking as art.  As a social statement - where's the rest of the family?  The empty pews cry out. Yet, they seem content. 

Would like to see the peach color of the upper left wall intensified  a bit - and/or the yellow of the pews toned down.  The glare on the pews modified a bit - they are distracting and blinding.  These are things I would play with. . . . 

Nothing is in the window - no life.  Is that the future of this marriage?  Yet, again, the two look content.  The brother must be happy to be leading his sister into this relationship.

 As 'wedding photography' documenting a wedding, very good - could it have been a bit sharper or is that due to the lack of kilobytes.  And as a document of the wedding, it wouldn't be dishonest to add the stained glass or a tree and some sky to the window - whatever was there.

Most people would crop this, I think, but all the empty space works. It has a bit of a retro feel and even with all the emptiness, the bride's happy face and the brother's relaxed stoicism come through.

Thanks for your comments. This wedding was held not a lavish but simple. Most of the members of the wedding were sitting in front. I was able to take a shot as soon as they entered. I looked more on the bride and brother and not altering anything because this image is not on any competition but just part of any wedding scene.
