2.32 - "Needs Work" 

Photo taken at All Saints Winery in Australia
It was golden hour and the owner of the business I was second shooting for suggested the groom lean up against the wall. This is probably my favourite photo of the day, although I actually meant to post an almost identical photo of them just after they kissed and were looking at each other, but hopefully this is a happy accident.
Natural Lighting.
Canon R5 with 85mm f1.2, ISO 100, SS 1/2000
CRAW image from camera and processed in Lightroom. Absolutely zero adjustments (I tried but I couldn't get it to look any better than the original)

I love the idea of this photo. B&W is a great classic style. Why not, as a photographer, shoot with b&w film? This image is too high in contrast, and the cropping crops out (some of the wedding dress trail), one of the important aspects of a bride's dress.

The cast of their shadows, is also cropped out. A bounce of light, around their faces etc, would've helped (a lot).
Besides all of that, it was a great idea!
