This wedding actually took place across two weekends, which gave me a little more time than usual for pictures. I loved this location with the old bridge—seemed like a nice contrast.

Congratulations to the winners!
This is pretty solid! I would bring the guy all the way in the back closer, just so you would be able to tell who he was. And definitley move the bridesmaid to either side (even in front of one of the groomsmen since she seems a little short). It would leave the space between the bride and groom clean. But this is good, especially given the harsher light.
The concept is good but in this picture are quite some problems.
Are the people in the back really that unimportant that it is ok to have them be just a blur? Why do they stand this far apart, just fells way to extrem.
Yeah, looking at it, I agree with both comments. I wanted to emphasize the bride and groom, but I probably went a little too far. I'm really not sure why I let the dude in the back get so far back there tbh. If I brought everybody in line with that second row it would probably work better.
Needed a deeper DOF or should have brought the guy in the back closer so you can make out his face. Otherwise great photo.
Yeah, I think I was still going through a phase at the time where I NEVER wanted deep DOF. About a year later I realized that it's possible to make good pictures without blurring everything out! Only took me about a decade, though...
DOF is a very tricky lady. I am a firm believer in bracketing . I think of the old saying " Take several shots on an occasion such as this wedding. You may never pass this way again. Just saying.
