This was shot in the South West corner of Western Australia. When we were approaching the location my jaw dropped as I saw the sky. I realised we had about 15 to 20 minutes to use the light.
Had the bride clambering over rocks everywhere in her high heels
This was almost the last shot before we went back to the reception.
Shot on my 35 L prime at f7.1 and 125th sec at ISO 800.
I realise the composition is fairly centred - but was shot so as to be cropped in various ways later.
Canon stuff.

Wonderful shot... and centered works here for me, the sun falls right where it should... of course the bride and groom might think they are the center of attention and should be there :p
Lovely. Can't argue with that one. Sometimes you get lucky with timing. Recognizing it and capitalizing on it is the trick. You have certainly nailed it here.
That is memorable! I can see it hanging forever in the main social room.

dramatic image, for sure. a bit lighter touch on the HDR wouldn't hurt, but it's a striking image as it is.

Wow. That's just ridiculously good. And the 1600px image just keeps going and going… amazing. I don't think I'd even have been able to function or put a coherent thought together under those conditions. Exceptional.
Thanks guys. Matt - it was so funny trying to get the bride to climb up all these rocks and stuff so I could get crashing surf behind them. All the time knowing the light would go any moment. She was a trooper.
