Very nice capture of the happy couple, Mandy. I was surprised at first to see that you'd needed to use 1600 ISO, but it seems that you decided to take this with a very long focal length, and that the light was quite low. (Just a comment, as this has turned out well.) What lens did you use, by the way?

@Andrew Gould: Hey Andrew - Thanks so much - FOR ALL your comments , I haven't had time to reply to everything but I have got them all - thanks for all the tips. I was using a sigma 70-300mm lens on this one. I'm glad you liked it!

Wow, Mandy, they are both so beautiful, and this is so beeeeeautiful!! I love the depth of field here, so beautifully appropriate for a subject as deep and rich as this. May they have a lifetime, countless years, of love in all its fullness, richness and depth and blessed togetherness in our wonderful Lord always. :)
Bravo to you once again, dear Mandy, for capturing these priceless moments I’m sure they will so much treasure. You are a fantastic friend indeed! :)

@Rob: Hey Rob!!! Great to have you pop in again Buddy. Thanks so much for the compliment!!! I was just using the good old sunlight - hence the high iso's for the couple's shoot.....the sun was almost gone when these were shot! :)
